New York Knicks owner James Dolan testing positive for coronavirus and his still-unresolved litigation with retired Knicks forward Charles Oakley have nothing to do with one another.
For now.
On Saturday, the Knicks revealed that Dolan has tested positive for COVID-19. Fortunately, he is experiencing only mild symptoms. While the 64-year-old billionaire will self-isolate and adopt other preventative measures, he intends to continue his day-to-day roles as executive chairman and chief executive officer of MSG and executive chairman of MSG Networks.
Among NBA franchise owners during this pandemic, the often-criticized Dolan has been one of the more generous to his employees.
