The Charles Oakley-New York Knicks saga just won’t end.
As a quick recap: The Knicks great was arrested and kicked out of Madison Square Garden in February after he reportedly yelled at Knicks owner James Dolan and got into a fight with security. Dolan then gave a radio interview in which he speculated Oakley was an alcoholic, but he later unbanned Oakley from MSG after meeting with Adam Silver and Michael Jordan.
However, as part of a plea deal stemming from the assault charges from that night, Oakley will be banned from Madison Square Garden for a year, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley.
Charles Oakley accepted a deal in court today that essentially clears him of charges as long as he stays out of trouble for 6 months.

One condition of Charles Oakley's plea deal (an ACD) is that Charles Oakley can't be in Madison Square Garden for one year.

So that’s it, right? Well, apparently not, as Oakley still reportedly plans to bring Dolan to court over the incident.
Charles Oakley's attorney, Alex Spiro: "He will be pursuing all civil remedies against Mr. (James) Dolan based on this incident."

It’s unclear what grievances Oakley will be alleging against Dolan, but it seems like this story is going to continue for quite awhile.
