It’s been a weird week for the New York Knicks. On Feb. 9, Charles Oakley got into an altercation with security guards during the Knicks game against the Clippers at Madison Square Garden. Oakley was eventually arrested for the incident and then later banned from MSG by Knicks owner James Dolan. Knicks fans were not happy with the decision to say the least. Spike Lee even wore an Oakley jersey courtside on Sunday.

Monday, Dolan and Oakley met with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Michael Jordan to discuss the situation. The NBA then released the following press release acknowledging the meeting and a resolution that Oakley will be allowed back at Madison Square Garden after all.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued the following statement today regarding the situation involving Charles Oakley and Madison Square Garden:

Adam Silver brought in Michael Jordan, who is the owner of the Charlotte Hornets and also a friend and former teammate of Oakley, to try to help smooth over the situation. It’s great see the Knicks and Oakley work this out — this was the right thing to do. Hopefully we’ll see Oakley back in MSG soon.
