Perhaps no one at MSG Network had heard the news, yet. Or maybe Jim Dolan figured that no one outside the Garden had heard about it, yet, and he wanted to keep the lid on it.

Regardless, last night’s Kings-Knicks game on MSG, as well as the pre-game show and the MSG “SportsDesk” that preceded the pre-game, was seen and heard without a word about the biggest Knick news of the day – the sexual harassment suit filed against Isiah Thomas by Anucha Browne Sanders, the Knicks’ Senior VP of Marketing and Business.

In fact, the only Thomas mentioned throughout the 3 1/2-hour package, was Kings forward Kenny Thomas.

An MSG Network spokesperson offered no comment.
