Knicks owner James Dolan tests positive for coronavirus; in self-isolation with ‘little to no symptoms’

The coronavirus pandemic has produced its way by way of the NBA, with 14 verified situations and five gamers announcing their constructive COVID-19 tests. On Saturday, the New York Knicks included to the NBA tally by confirming that Madison Sq. Back garden Organization Executive Chairman and Main Executive Officer James Dolan has contracted the coronavirus. The team gave details through Twitter:

“The Madison Sq. Back garden Organization Executive Chairman and Main Executive Officer Jim Dolan has tested constructive for coronavirus. He has been in self-isolation and is going through little to no signs. He carries on to oversee company functions.”

Dolan, who supervises working day-to-working day functions for the Knicks, New York Rangers and New York Liberty, joins Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, Christian Wood, Kevin Durant and Marcus Wise as recognised users of the NBA neighborhood to validate constructive COVID-19 tests. Wood was a short while ago cleared from the virus and was announced as “thoroughly recovered” by his agent.

Dolan and The Madison Sq. Back garden Organization a short while ago agreed to promote the Discussion board in Inglewood, California to Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer for $four hundred million immediately after a lawful standoff. Dolan had previously contested that prepare, proclaiming that he agreed to give up the land on which the Clippers’ new arena would be developed — just throughout the road from the Discussion board — below bogus pretenses.

In addition to the Knicks and Rangers, some of the models that The Madison Sq. Back garden Organization lists on its web-site incorporate Radio City Music Hall, The Chicago Theatre and Tao Group Hospitality.
