Create Account Dundon confirmed the agreement in a text exchange with The Associated Press on Wednesday. His group includes Portland-based Sheel Tyle, the co-founder of investment firm Collective Global, and Marc Zahr, co-president of Blue Owl Capital. The NBA Board of Governors has to ratify any final purchase agreement. ESPN reported Wednesday that the deal was for $4 billion. Dundon did not reveal the terms of the sale to the AP. CNBC earlier this year valued the Trail Blazers at $3.65 billion. In March, the Boston Celtics sold for $6.1 billion. Dundon, 53, bought a stake in the Hurricanes in 2017 and became the majority owner in 2018. He is chairman and managing partner of the Dallas-based firm Dundon Capital Partners. Allen's estate announced in May that it had begun the process of selling the Trail Blazers. The billionaire co-founder of Microsoft, who died in 2018 at age 65 from complications of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, originally bought the Blazers in 1988 for $70 million.

Since his death, Allen's sister, Jody Allen, has served as chair of both the Blazers and Seahawks and is a trustee of the Paul G. Allen Trust. Paul Allen stipulated in his will the eventual sale of his teams, with the proceeds given to philanthropic endeavors. Representatives for the estate did not immediately respond to emails from The Associated Press seeking comment on the agreement. The estate has not announced plans for the sale of the Seahawks or the 25% stake in the Sounders. Jody Allen reportedly rebuffed an offer from Nike co-founder Phil Knight to buy the Trail Blazers for more than $2 billion in 2022. At that time, there were no ongoing discussions about the sale of the teams, she said in a rare statement. The Trail Blazers joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1970 and won their lone NBA championship in 1977. Last season, the Blazers finished 36-46 and missed out on the playoffs for the fourth straight year. A spokesperson for the Carolina Hurricanes said Dundon was 'excited about the opportunity' to buy the Trail Blazers, and added that the move will not affect the NHL team. The Hurricanes, based in Raleigh, have made the playoffs in each of the last seven seasons. Toronto Maple Leafs Columnists World Celebrity Editorial Cartoons

Jaroslav Halak announces retirement from NHL after 17 seasons
(Photo credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images) Goaltender Jaroslav Halak officially announced his retirement from the NHL after 17 seasons on Friday, more than two years removed from his last game. Halak, 40, last played a game on April 13, 2023, with the New York Rangers. He then spent time with the Carolina Hurricanes early in the 2023-24 season on a professional tryout but was released before competing in a game. 'Last year I completed summer training ... but when nothing came of it, I told myself it was pointless. After that I didn't even try anymore,' Halak told Slovakia's Dennik Sport, per a translation. 'I'm officially ending my career. I would like to thank my family, friends, fans and especially my wife Petra, who has been by my side my entire career.' A two-time William M. Jennings Trophy Award winner as the goalie on the team that allowed the fewest goals in a season, Halak posted a 295-189-69 record with 53 shutouts, a 2.50 goals-against average and .915 save percentage in 581 career games (555 starts). He has played with the Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Washington Capitals, New York Islanders, Boston Bruins, Vancouver Canucks and Rangers. 'It's been two years and I've come to terms with not reaching 300 (wins),' Halak said. 'Looking back on my career, it's been a good one. It would have been nicer with 300 wins, but I'll be happy with 295.' Halak also played for his native Slovakia at the Olympics in 2010 and 2014 and guided Team Europe to the championship game at the World Cup of Hockey 2016.
