<!-- rbox ends here -->NEW YORK — A jury ruled today that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a former top team executive, subjecting her to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults.
The jury also found that Madison Square Garden committed harassment against Anucha Browne Sanders, and ruled that MSG should have to pay her punitive damages. The same jury will now begin deciding the amount of damages.
The harassment verdict was widely expected after the jury sent a note to the judge Monday indicating that it believed Thomas and the other defendants, Madison Square Garden and MSG chairman James Dolan, sexually harassed Browne Sanders, who filed a $10 million lawsuit.
