MSG employee says sex with Marbury was consensual

While speaking alone with Browne Sanders in her office, Decker described her birthday night, she said. On the witness stand, she disputed Browne Sanders' account of the night and said she never told anyone she regretted her night with Marbury.

"I didn't say it," she said.

She said when Marbury later sent her a text message saying he wanted more, she did not respond.

Marbury had testified earlier in the trial that he and Decker had other encounters after the initial night.

Browne Sanders, a former Northwestern basketball player, was hired by the Knicks in late 2000 and was fired in January 2006, months after complaining to MSG management that she was mistreated by Thomas.

As part of her lawsuit, Browne Sanders has asked for her job back, saying MSG retaliated against her by firing her for speaking out about sexual harassment.

The Garden claims she was dismissed in January 2006 for a failure to "fulfill professional responsibilities."

Decker testified that she has since been promoted and now works for the Garden as a community relations coordinator.
