Knicks owner James Dolan has been named as a defendant in a civil lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein. Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry has also been named. The suit — which was filed against Weinstein, Miramax, the Weinstein Company and the Company’s board of directors — was filed by six women who said they were assaulted and/or harassed by Weinstein. It alleges that the Dolan and Lasry both knew of Weinstein’s “pattern and practice of predatory sexual conduct toward women.” Dolan was part of the board from mid-2015 to June 2016.
