Despite an invitation from Dolan's lawyers to attend a recent game, Oakley remains steadfast in his boycott until he receives an apology.Oakley has filed assault and battery claims against Dolan, and a recent court ruling reinstated his case. Oakley insists on transparency and honesty from the Knicks organization before he considers returning to Madison Square Garden.Despite his absence, Oakley still roots for the Knicks from home and wishes them success in the playoffs. The Knicks currently lead their series against the Indiana Pacers and are aiming for their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2000.
