Miriam Adelson, the widow of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, is selling $2 billion of stock in Las Vegas Sands Corp. so the family can acquire a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks NBA franchise from Mark Cuban.

Cuban, a 65-year-old tech billionaire, will continue to own a part of the team, according to a person familiar with the family’s plans. A deal is expected to be announced shortly, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the sale hasn’t been announced publicly.
