Will Iger é a nova voz do Coachella Valley Lakers. O afiliado do Los Angeles Lakers na G League anunciou nesta quinta-feira que Iger, filho do futuro coproprietário Bob Iger, fará a narração jogada a jogada, trabalhando ao lado do comentarista A.C. Green, tricampeão da NBA com os Lakers.
Bob Iger comprou sua participação na franquia com o capitalista de risco Joshua Kushner há menos de três meses, em um negócio que avaliou o time em US$ 12,5 bilhões.
O filho de Iger construiu um currículo variado nos últimos anos: narração jogada a jogada no Austin Spurs, da G League, trabalho no San Antonio FC, da segunda divisão da USL Championship, e passagens por Columbia e Hofstra. Ele concluiu os estudos na Texas-Austin em 2025.
O boato da compra de Kushner e Iger surgiu em agosto, quando os dois concordaram em assumir a maioria das ações do dono Mark Walter, que enfrenta uma série de dificuldades financeiras e jurídicas. Os dois podem eventualmente ser donos do time inteiro: eles fizeram proposta pela participação restante da família Buss, e todos os irmãos, exceto a governante Jeanie Buss, querem aceitar. A disputa agora caminha para os tribunais.
A compra em si ainda está pendente. No fim de outubro, foi reportado que Walter e Kushner, que financia a maior parte do valor, haviam acertado todos os termos pendentes. Agora vem a revisão da NBA e depois a votação do conselho de governadores da liga.
