The first increment of the $1.5 billion sale of the Minnesota Timberwolves to e-commerce mogul Marc Lore and former baseball star Alex Rodriguez has been approved by the NBA.

Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor issued a statement confirming the transaction … and welcoming Lore and Rodriguez to the organization.

The deal also includes the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx.

It was structured to begin with an initial transfer of a 20% stake in the club this year.

Lore and Rodriguez will then have the right to purchase additional 20% shares in 2022 and 2023, when they would become controlling owners.
