Isiah Thomas is back in New York, this time to run the WNBA Liberty.
Seven years after Thomas’ unsuccessful stint as president of the NBA New York Knicks ended, Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan has hired him again.
Liberty general manager Kristin Bernert said after Tuesday’s announcement she was “comfortable” with the company’s answers to her questions about past sexual-harassment allegations against Thomas.
Hall of Fame player Thomas will serve as Liberty president, with responsibility for basketball and business operations.
“Over the last couple of months, Jim and I talked,” Thomas, 54, told The Associated Press.
