Knicks Deny Report Suggesting James Dolan Is 'Courting Offers' to Sell

The New York Knicks released a statement refuting a report suggesting that owner James Dolan is considering selling the team.

“The story is 100% false," the club said, per The Athletic's Shams Charania. "There has been nothing. No discussions. No plans to have discussions—nothing.”

On Monday morning, Bill Simmons of The Ringer said that he was told Dolan was "courting offers" to sell the team during an episode of his eponymous podcast.

“This is what I’ve pieced together," Simmons said. "[Dolan] really cares about the buildings and the in-game/in-concert experience. And he wants to put even more money into that.
