The NBA’s Board of Governors has approved the sale of the Charlotte Hornets to a group led by Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin, clearing the way to end Michael Jordan’s 13-year run as majority owner, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets.

The completed sale of the team – purchased at an approximate $3 billion valuation – will be executed in the next one-to-two weeks.
