List of NBA team owners

This article is a list of principal owners of National Basketball Association teams.

The NBA requires a change in "controlling ownership" to be approved by the NBA Board of Governors, composed of one representative (Governor) from each team.[1] Toronto Raptors owner Larry Tanenbaum has been Chairman of the NBA Board of Governors since 2017.[2]
