New York Knicks legendย Charles Oakley is no longer welcome at Madison Square Garden, the team announced on Friday.
“It’s not necessarily a lifetime ban. The most important thing is we need to keep the Garden a place that is comfortable and safe,” team owner James Dolan said on ESPN’s The Michael Kay Show.
“Anyone that comes to the Garden, too much alcohol, is looking for a fight and being abusive is going to get banned,” Dolan continued.ย “Hopefully, it won’t be forever.”
The move comes in the wake ofย Oakley’s ejection Wednesday night after shoving a security guard during the Knicks-L.A.
