Ewing spent much of his pro career with the Knicks and has been coaching at his alma mater since 2017 following a long run as an assistant coach in the NBA. Playing and coaching in major markets has made him a beloved member of the basketball world and at 57 years of age the diagnosis was alarming. Being back at home is a great sign and we wish Ewing the best as he continues to fight this virus.
