A judge ruled in favor of Madison Square Garden in the legal dispute with former Knicks player Charles Oakley, stating he failed to prove he was assaulted during his 2017 removal from a game. Judge Richard J. Sullivan noted that evidence, including video footage, showed Oakley resorted to violence instead of leaving peacefully. MSG criticized Oakley’s legal team for pursuing baseless claims and is seeking accountability for what they termed frivolous litigation. Oakley’s lawyer expressed disappointment, hoping for a jury to review the case.
