New York Knicks and Rangers owner James Dolan has recovered from the coronavirus, a Knicks spokesperson told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Dolan has donated his blood plasma toward research for potential treatments, Charania adds.

The 64-year-old executive tested positive for COVID-19 on March 28. He was said to be experiencing little-to-no symptoms and continued to oversee the team.

A day after the Knicks announced Dolan's diagnosis, it was reported that the NBA requested personnel within the league to consider donating plasma to the National COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Project.

Dolan is the only NBA team owner known to have contracted the virus.

In the state of New York, there have been more than 257,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and over 15,000 deaths as of Wednesday, according to The New York Times.
