On Friday, a judge ruled in favor of Madison Square Garden, dismissing an assault lawsuit brought by former New York Knicks All-Star Charles Oakley. The legal battle stemmed from a 2017 incident during a basketball game, where Oakley was removed from the venue by security guards and subsequently handcuffed.
The court determined that Oakley failed to produce sufficient evidence to support his claims that he was physically assaulted by security personnel during his ejection from the arena.
