Judge sides with MSG against Oakley, says the former Knick couldn't prove he was assaulted at game
The judge said Oakley offered no evidence of assault and dismissed his remaining claim after video and witness testimony backed MSG.
- On Friday, a judge ruled in favor of Madison Square Garden, finding former New York Knicks All-Star Charles Oakley failed to prove assault claims stemming from a 2017 game.
- Oakley was handcuffed and arrested after a security altercation while sitting near owner James Dolan during a Los Angeles Clippers game, sparking the legal battle.
- Judge Sullivan wrote that "ample evidence" shows Oakley had an opportunity to leave and instead used "physical violence," adding "no rational jury" could conclude MSG intended wrongful contact.
- MSG stated "claims have now been dismissed by the Court in their entirety" and announced legal action against attorney Douglas Wigdor for years of "frivolous litigation."
- Wigdor expressed disappointment, believing conflicting accounts require a jury decision, and hopes the Second Circuit will remand the case for an immediate jury trial.
