Madison Square Garden Company and Knicks owner James Dolan plan to donate $1 million each to support the arena's event staff workers during the sports shutdown, according to SNY's Ian Begley.
The event staff employees received a memo saying they will be paid through at least May 3, and MSG's management team will also give $300,000 to the relief fund, per Begley. The team had originally said people would be paid in the short-term while it figures out a long-term plan.
Multiple NBA teams and notable players have stepped up to help financially support arena workers who are out of work during the coronavirus pandemic.
