James Dolan's Gulfstream G550 (N5465M) was tracked departing Morristown Municipal Airport on June 28 at 1:43 p.m. ET and landing 32 minutes later at Francis S. Gabreski Airport on Long Island's East End. The aircraft climbed only to 5,950 feet, consistent with a short regional hop.

If James Dolan was aboard, the timing would place him in the Hamptons the same weekend the Knicks' championship parade is still fresh in the news — the team won its first title in 53 years on June 13, per multiple reports. Dolan also faces a proposed class-action lawsuit over an alleged data breach at Madison Square Garden, filed June 16 and covered by Front Office Sports, and has publicly stated he will not cross the NBA's second apron to retain free agents, as he told WFAN on June 17.

The flight follows a pattern of recent travel: Dolan's aircraft flew from Los Angeles to the New York area on June 27, then repositioned to Morristown before this short trip east. A Hamptons weekend would be a quiet retreat after a whirlwind championship week and the start of a contentious offseason.
