Former Bucks Owner Marc Lasry Nears $108M Purchase of NC Courage

Lasry is set to acquire a 60% stake in the NWSL team, reflecting the soaring valuations of women's soccer franchises.

Marc Lasry, ex-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, is close to buying a controlling interest in the North Carolina Courage for $108 million.
Lasry's offer includes a non-binding letter of intent to purchase 60% of the NWSL franchise from current owner Steve Malik.
The Courage, relocated from New York to North Carolina in 2017, have won multiple NWSL titles but struggle with low attendance.
NWSL team valuations have surged, with San Diego Wave and Angel City FC setting new records at $120 million and $250 million, respectively.
Lasry's investment follows his sale of a 25% stake in the Bucks and the launch of Avenue Sports Opportunities Fund, which has invested in several sports ventures.
