A revered New York legend is back where it all began this season, as the Knicks look to improve on their recent postseason success.

NEW YORK — Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing is returning to the New York Knicks in the newly created position of basketball ambassador.

When his playing days were over Ewing went on to a coaching career, working in Washington, Houston, Orlando and Charlotte as an assistant before taking over as head coach at his alma mater, Georgetown, in 2017. When he was fired in 2022, he joined the Hornets as a consultant for the last two seasons.
