82% Informative
The D.C. Pickleball Team and the Brooklyn Aces have traded ownership rights.
The trade is the first professional sports franchise to swap ownership of a professional sports team.
NBA player Kevin Durant was born in Washington and established himself in the area through his foundation.
The most recent time professional sports teams swapped owners was in 1978 .
Major League Pickleball is in its early stages, allowing it to be flexible and creative.
Tylis likened it to a baseball game with the league in only the top of the second inning.
The swap is a move he and Kleiman believe is beneficial for MLP's future.
It's still early for either ownership group to have any concrete plans for its new franchise.
