Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and her husband, comedian Jay Mohr, were seen enjoying a date night at the Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday, August 5, 2025. The couple watched the L.A. Sparks secure a victory against the Indiana Fever with a final score of 100-91. The local broadcast on Spectrum SportsNet captured the couple sharing smiles and laughter while seated courtside, highlighting the celebratory atmosphere of the evening.
Buss, who recently made headlines after selling a majority stake in the Lakers for an astounding $10 billion last month, showcased her team spirit by wearing a purple and gold top in support of the home team. In contrast, Mohr opted for a blue collared shirt coupled with black glasses, embodying a casual yet stylish appearance.
This outing marked another instance of the couple attending a game together, having previously been spotted at a matchup where the Sparks faced the Chicago Sky, which ended in a 92-85 loss for the Sparks. Having tied the knot in September 2023, Buss and Mohr have become familiar figures at various Lakers and Sparks games, often displaying affection for one another during their outings.
During the recent Sparks game, a rather unusual incident occurred when a green dildo was thrown onto the court, interrupting gameplay while the Sparks led the Fever 51-41 before halftime. The incident quickly drew attention, especially as it involved Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, who was inadvertently nicked by the flying object. Sparks All-Star Kelsey Plum took action by kicking it away from the free throw line, ensuring the game could continue without further disruption.
This occurrence marked the third incident involving a sex toy disrupting a WNBA game within the span of a week. The first incident took place during a matchup between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries on July 29, 2025. Following that, another interruption occurred during the Valkyries-Sky game on August 1. The individual responsible for the first incident, identified as 23-year-old Delbert Carver, was arrested on August 2, according to reports from OutKick.
Amidst the chaos of these events, players have raised concerns regarding safety and the overall environment during games, particularly in light of the recent disruptions. This ongoing saga has sparked conversations about player safety, illustrating the need for increased security measures during games.
As Jeanie Buss and Jay Mohr continue to make headlines both on and off the court, their presence at Sparks games highlights their commitment to supporting women’s basketball while navigating the complexities of public life, especially following Buss’s monumental sale of the Lakers franchise.
