The Los Angeles Lakers carried out a fresh wave of layoffs on Wednesday in their downtown LA headquarters, cutting at least 15 jobs across communications, marketing and sales as part of a sweeping restructuring led by new majority owner Mark Walter.
According to people familiar with the Lakers' layoffs, who were not authorised to speak publicly, the staff were informed earlier in the day that their roles were being eliminated as the franchise continues to retool almost every aspect of its business.
