Sports media personality Bill Simmons has claimed that Josh Kushner, a potential buyer for the Los Angeles Lakers, is reportedly short by billions of dollars in his bid to acquire the NBA franchise.

Simmons made the assertion during a recent podcast appearance, suggesting that Kushner's financial backing may not meet the valuation required for a sale of the storied basketball team.

The Lakers, one of the league's most valuable franchises, have been the subject of ownership speculation, though no official sale process has been announced by the Buss family or the NBA.
