Isiah Thomas will join Knicks board of directors later this month

Isiah Thomas is set to become a member of the Knicks’ board of directors starting later this month. This announcement comes roughly a decade after a sexual harassment scandal led to a significant settlement involving Thomas and James Dolan’s company. Thomas will join other notable board members but will not have any operational role. This change comes as MSG Sports prepares for the spinoff of the Knicks, with a new entity called MSG Knickerbockers scheduled to begin trading independently on the New York Stock Exchange on October 26. The Knicks are valued at approximately $9.75 billion, according to Forbes.
