James Dolan Steps Down from NBA Board Committee Positions

New York Knicks owner James Dolan has resigned from his positions on the NBA board of governors' advisory/finance and media committees, citing recent events and his belief that the NBA does not need his opinion. While he will still retain voting power for the franchise, Dolan will no longer attend board meetings and has appointed Knicks general counsel Jamaal Lesane to represent the organization. Dolan has been critical of the league and NBA commissioner Adam Silver on various issues, including revenue sharing. Additionally, the Knicks have filed a lawsuit against the Toronto Raptors, seeking over $10 million in damages for the alleged theft of confidential files.
