The New York Knicks have hired Patrick Ewing as an ambassador to assist both basketball and business operations. Ewing will work directly with Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks' front office.
"As I said the day my number 33 jersey lifted into the rafters at MSG, I will always be a Knick and I will always be a New Yorker. I can't wait to get started in this new position and to officially be back with the organization that I love so much," Ewing said in a statement. "The Garden has always been my home and I'm looking forward to working with Leon Rose, Coach Thibodeau, the team and everyone else that makes this place so special."
Ewing spent 14 seasons as an NBA assistant coach and was named head coach at Georgetown in 2017. Ewing was fired by alma mater in 2023.
