A-Rod moves closer to Minnesota Timberwolves stake

Alex Rodriguez just moved a step closer to owning an NBA team.

A Minnesota Court on Thursday dismissed a motion from a minority Minnesota Timberwolves owner, Meyer Orbach, seeking to delay a sale of 20 percent of the team to A-Rod and his partner Marc Lore. That opens the door to A-Rod and Lore closing the deal with controlling owner Glen Taylor at anytime once approved by the NBA.
