Knicks Owner James Dolan Resigns from NBA Board, Files Lawsuit Against Raptors

Dolan accuses NBA Commissioner Adam Silver of conflict of interest, greenlights lawsuit following resignation from board.

New York Knicks owner James Dolan resigned from his positions on the NBA board of governors' influential advisory/finance and media committees before filing a lawsuit against the Toronto Raptors.
The Knicks are suing the Raptors over former Knicks analytics staffer Ikechukwu Azotam allegedly sharing trade secrets.
The Knicks have accused NBA commissioner Adam Silver of being too “conflicted” to handle his duties of resolving this matter internally.
Dolan's resignation from the NBA board could potentially explain why he greenlighted the lawsuit.
The Knicks are also defending a suit brought by retired Knicks star—and outspoken Dolan critic—Charles Oakley.
