Garden Upkeep

It's been a week since a jury found Isiah Thomas, James Dolan and MSG liable for sexual harassment against former Knicks exec Anucha Browne Sanders, and the fallout has just begun. The N.Y. POST's Page Six reports Cablevision Chair Charles Dolan is "planning a major shakeup” at the Garden and that he is "mulling management changes from top to bottom.” Thomas claims a tape of some of his most inflammatory remarks during his deposition was altered, and Al Sharpton says he'll give Thomas the benefit of the doubt and is holding off on picketing Knicks games. But several team execs say Thomas has no future in the NBA, with one saying the verdict "was the last nail in the coffin for him. Nobody will touch him." Meanwhile, calls for David Stern to act grow louder, but the commissioner, in his first public comments on the issue, maintains the NBA will stay away from civil lawsuits.
