Former NBA legend and New York Knicks star Patrick Ewing recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Ewing is currently the head coach of the Georgetown University Hoyas men’s basketball team and has been released from the hospital where he was being treated for the virus.
According to the university, the 57-year-old Ewing is the only member of its men’s program who has contracted the coronavirus.
As a former player, the 7-foot Ewing helped Georgetown win the 1984 NCAA men’s basketball championship and reached two additional title games.
In the 1985 NBA Draft, Ewing was taken No. 1 overall by the Knicks, and would go on and lead his team to the 1994 NBA Finals, where they lost to Hakeem Olajuwon and the Houston Rockets.
