Isiah Thomas is still the president of a WNBA franchise, but his status as an owner is on hold.
The WNBA and the Liberty have agreed to suspend Thomas' ownership application indefinitely, the league announced Monday.

“After further discussion and with the season underway, the WNBA and the New York Liberty have agreed to suspend consideration of Isiah Thomas’ application for an ownership interest in the Liberty until further notice,” the league said in a statement. “The process will resume at a future time as determined by the Liberty.”
There has been resistance to Thomas’ involvement with the WNBA franchise since he was hired in May.
Thomas, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, was accused of sexually harassing Anucha Browne Sanders while serving as team president of the Knicks. Thomas was never found liable, although MSG spent nearly $12 million on the suit.
