Golden Knights owner Bill Foley and Jerry Colangelo, the former Suns owner and 4-time NBA Executive of the Year.

Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopoulos, who tried to buy the Commanders and the Senators, with ex-Bucks owner Marc Lasry.

The league is set to formally approve the team by the end of December.
