As the Brooklyn Nets launch a new era of basketball with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, it appears they’ll be doing so under new ownership.

Billionaire Joseph Tsai is finalizing a deal with controlling owner Mikhail Prokhorov to buy full ownership of the team, The New York Post reports.

Tsai already owns 49 percent of the Nets. A deal announcing that he has purchased the remaining 51 percent stake is expected to be announced later this week, according to the report.

The expected full $2.35 billion purchase price of the team would be the highest price ever paid for a sports franchise, according to the report.
