NEWS: The Qatari Investment Authority, the country’s sovereign wealth fund, is close to buying a stake in the Wizards, Capitals and Mystics, sources tell MikeVorkunov. The deal must still be approved by the NBA’s Board of Governors.

Commissioner Adam Silver spoke last Thursday about his thinking on state investment into sports during an appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show,” when he was asked about the financial agreement between theand the Saudi Arabian-owned Public Investment Fund, which includes a merger of the Tour and the PIF-owned LIV Golf.
