Will James Dolan's Coronavirus Diagnosis Affect His Case With Charles Oakley?

New York Knicks owner James Dolan testing positive for coronavirus and his still-unresolved litigation with retired Knicks forward Charles Oakley have nothing to do with one another.

For now.

On Saturday, the Knicks revealed that Dolan has tested positive for COVID-19. Fortunately, he is experiencing only mild symptoms. While the 64-year-old billionaire will self-isolate and adopt other preventative measures, he intends to continue his day-to-day roles as executive chairman and chief executive officer of MSG and executive chairman of MSG Networks.

Among NBA franchise owners during this pandemic, the often-criticized Dolan has been one of the more generous to his employees.
