As a potential Commanders sale gets more realistic, one big name in the sports world has reportedly entered the conversation. According to Sportico’s Scott Soshnick and Eben Novy-Williams, NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson has joined Sixers owner Josh Harris’s group looking to buy the team.
Since he retired, Johnson has remained a part of the sports industry through several ownership stakes. He became a minority owner for the Dodgers in 2011 when Guggenheim Baseball Management bought the team and also has partial ownership of the Sparks and LAFC, among other ventures.
In October, it was reported that Johnson explored buying a stake in the Raiders, although it doesn’t appear that anything came of it.
