A pair of conflicting reports have emerged of just how long Jeanie Buss will remain governor of the Lakers after agreeing to sell the team in June.

Jeanie and her five siblings received the majority stake in the franchise upon Jerry's death in 2013 and she has served in the governor's role.

Jeanie Buss will “remain governor of the franchise and continue to oversee all team operations on a day-to-day basis for the foreseeable future,” according to a news release Wednesday officially announcing the sale of the Los Angeles Lakers to billionaire Mark Walter.

A report from Front Office Sports claims Buss will remain as team governor for up to five years "at most." That puts a hard cap on how long Buss will be the franchise's decision-maker. Walter is likely going to be able to exert influence in that time but it would appear Buss will still remain in control.

Jeanie Buss will be in charge of the Los Angeles Lakers for the foreseeable future despite the family selling the franchise to businessman Mark Walter for $10 billion.

The Los Angeles Lakers were sold for a record-high valuation earlier this summer, but they are expected to keep Jeanie Buss in control of the team.

An update has emerged this week on how long Jeanie Buss will remain in charge of the Los Angeles Lakers as their governor.
