CLEVELAND (CBSNewYork/AP) — Charles Oakley, still at odds with the New York Knicks, watched his former team in his hometown Thursday night.
The Cleveland native sat next to Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert as the Knicks played the defending NBA champions. According to Cleveland.com, Oakley was the guest of LeBron James’ attorney Frederick Nantz, and Gilbert invited him into the courtside seats.
The former power forward attended his first Knicks game since being arrested after getting into an altercation with security guards at Madison Square Garden earlier this month.
Oakley has a strained relationship with Knicks owner James Dolan, who banned the former player a few days following the incident.
