New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas and Madison Square Garden reached an $11.5 million settlement of the sexual harassment case brought by Anucha Brown Sanders, a former team executive.
As Anucha Browne Sanders was preparing to return to U.S. District Court in Manhattan, that Monday the deal was done. Her description of her the whole incident with the Knicks exposing the club's tawdry side, from its dysfunctional clubhouse to the sexual exploits of star Stephon Marbury with an intern. She was awarded $11.6 million in punitive damages by a jury. This deal replaces that.
The case was scheduled to start up again this week before U.S. District Judge Gerard E. Lynch. The judge was deciding how much Browne Sanders was owed in compensatory damages. A payout that usually involves lost wages and future loss of income. By settling the Kincks avoid huge legal fees that they might have been ordered to pay. But instead, Browne Sanders gets her money faster and possibly having her award reduced on appeal.
