Isiah Thomas is once again trying to clear his name from a sexual harassment case was that decided last decade.
The New York Liberty president and former Knicks coach/executive maintained that he did not harass Anucha Browne Sanders during his time with the Knicks, although a jury awarded her $11.6 million Madison Square Garden, parent company of the Knicks.

"I will own up to what I did and the mistakes that I made, but I can't own up to things that I didn't do," Thomas told ESPN on Sunday. "No I did not call her derogatory names. Just didn't happen."
Thomas said although the jury ruled that he aided and abetted a hostile work environment for the former Knicks marketing executive, he had little contact with her and did not have anything to do with her termination.
"That was just the decision that was made at that time," Thomas said. "I can't carry weight or water for something that I didn't do. And, as I said then and I'm saying today, it didn't happen."
Thomas remains president of the WNBA franchise, but his ownership bid has been put on hold. The Liberty were eliminated from the WNBA Eastern Conference Finals by the Indiana Fever last Tuesday.
