Charles Oakley isn't planning a return to Madison Square Garden anytime soon.
After being conditionally cleared of all charges stemming from his scuffle at MSG in February, the former New York Knicks big man tweeted he'll have zero trouble meeting all requirements of his plea deal agreement - which includes a one-year ban from MSG.
I want to thank all my fans around world .The case is over now that was the hard part. The easy part is stayin away from the garden. OAK

Oakley was forcibly removed from MSG and subsequently arrested during a Feb. 8 contest against the Los Angeles Clippers last season. Knicks owner James Dolan later handed Oakley an indefinite ban from the Garden before lifting it just days later.
