Lore, Rodriguez Named Timberwolves and Lynx Co-Owners

Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez have officially become co-owners of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves and WNBA's Minnesota Lynx after resolving a protracted legal and arbitration dispute with former owner Glen Taylor, culminating in a $1.5 billion deal. Lore described the year-long arbitration as 'lonely' and 'painful,' crediting his partnership with Rodriguez for perseverance. The new owners plan to introduce innovation, starting with a ticketing platform called Jump, which allows fans to bid on vacated seats during games. Rodriguez highlighted his inspiration from George Steinbrenner and his commitment to a winning team culture. Plans include exploring a new arena and repairing relationships with former Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett. Their ownership marks a new era centered on innovation, inclusivity, and enhanced fan engagement.
