BREAKING: Person briefed on discussions tells AP: Charles Oakley's ban at Madison Square Garden is over.

A person briefed on the discussions tells The Associated Press that Madison Square Garden has lifted its ban of Charles Oakley.

The person who spoke to the AP on Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the discussions were to remain private says the former Knicks star who was arrested at a game last week is welcome back at the arena.

Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan banned Oakley on Friday, two days after the former power forward had an altercation with security guards while attending a game.

But the sides reconciled quickly, helped by a meeting Monday at NBA headquarters with Commissioner Adam Silver and Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. Jordan and Oakley were teammates in Chicago before Oakley was traded to New York, where he became a fan favorite with the Knicks from 1988-98.

Oakley has been relegated to the upper decks for all games now and can't go in the club section, suites, or floor.

Fair enough... why was he down there in the first place? Dolan has put crap on the floor but he wouldn't have a reason to provoke Oakley

On no planet is this "breaking news." I hate New York myopia so much.

CO has released a statement on ESPN that he will not return to MSG till he gets a public apology from the owner. So much for any reconciliation.
