Former New York Knicks player Charles Oakley has lost his civil lawsuit against team owner James Dolan and Madison Square Garden, a judge ruled on Wednesday.
Oakley's suit branches from a February 2017 incident, in which he was forced out of MSG during a Knicks game and subsequently arrested after a scuffle with security guards. Dolan and MSG were sued for defamation, battery, false imprisonment and violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), among other related charges, that September.
Oakley was also banned from MSG for one year following the incident.
