Patrick Ewing is expected to join the Washington Wizards as an assistant coach, according to multiple outlets. The former Georgetown standout and long-time NBA center has previously coached with the Wizards, serving as an assistant during the 2002–03 season, and sources indicate he is returning to a similar role. The reports also frame the move as a new step in his post-playing career following his recent non-coaching work. One outlet notes that Ewing has been serving as an ambassador for the New York Knicks over the past two seasons, and that the assistant-coach position is part of his return to coaching duties. Taken together, the coverage consistently describes Ewing’s transition back to the Wizards’ staff and highlights his earlier stint with the organization. The reports do not provide additional details about the specific responsibilities of the role or when the hire becomes official, but they agree on the destination—Washington—and the capacity—assistant coach.
