The National Basketball Association's Minnesota Timberwolves and the Women's National Basketball Association's Lynx are no longer for sale after a deal with former baseball great Alex Rodriguez and businessman Marc Lore fell apart, the teams' owner Glen Taylor said Thursday.
In a statement to CNBC, Lore and Rodriguez said they are disappointed with Taylor's comments.
However, those circumstances did not occur," Taylor's statement said.
Some reports suggest that the relationship among Taylor, Lore and Rodriguez became strained since the original deal was made.
