NBA legend Magic Johnson was on NBC’s Today Show Tuesday and confirmed that, yes, he is indeed a part of Josh Harris’ bid to buy the Washington Commanders.
“Our bid is in,” Johnson said. “We hope that we win. We don’t know what’s going to happen. So, we’ll see what happens with Mr. Snyder making that decision. But we’re excited about it.”
“You own a lot of teams,” host Savannah Guthrie asked Johnson.
“Well, that’s the last thing, right? Johnson responded. “You have the Dodgers, the Sparks; we have LAFC soccer; we won the championship this season, that was great. So, we’ll see what happens.”
Johnson is part owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers [MLB], Los Angeles Sparks [WNBA], and Los Angeles Football Club [MLS]. Last month, it was reported that he joined Harris and Mitchell Rales in their bid to buy the Commanders.

While there is no timetable for when Snyder makes a decision on the next owner, Harris and his group, remain the favorites.
