This week’s Portfolio Players features Marc Lasry who has navigated sports ownership at the highest levels—serving as the former owner of the Milwaukee Bucks and co-founding Avenue Capital.

He also explores the rise of women’s sports as a cultural movement, fueled by generational change and increased family engagement.
