According to Wojnarowski:

“No deal is imminent, but there’s significant momentum on a sale that would eventually install Plotkin and Schnall as the co-governors of the Hornets, sources said.

If a sale is completed, Jordan is expected to remain with a minority stake in the franchise, sources said.”

Jordan paid $275 million dollars for a majority stake in the Hornets in 2019. According to Statista.com, the Hornets are currently valued at $1.7 billion dollars.

The Hornets are in finishing another tough season currently 22-49 and second to last in the Eastern Conference.
