James Dolan-Charles Oakley truce brokered by Adam Silver

Charles Oakley may be back in Madison Square Garden as a guest of Knicks owner James Dolan in the near future.

The NBA intervened in the Oakley-Dolan feud Monday, trying to put an end to what NBA commissioner Adam Silver called a “disheartening” situation.

Oakley was removed from his seat behind Dolan during last Wednesday’s game and dragged out by Garden security guards. Oakley was arrested and banned from the Garden two days later by Dolan, who said the beloved former Knick was being verbally abusive.

But Silver met with Dolan and Oakley at the league office in Manhattan Monday while Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan took part on a conference call.
