New Jersey Nets Sold to a Russian Billionaire
-
NBA approves sale of New Jersey Nets to a Russian billionaire, Mikhail Prokhorov. The Nets hope Prokhorov’s wealth — estimated at $9.5 billion through his banking and metals businesses — will be used to help them bounce back from a 12-70 finish that included an NBA-worst, 18-game losing streak to open the season.
