Patrick Aloysius Ewing, Jr. (born May 20, 1984) is an American professional basketball player. He is son of NBA Great Patrick Ewing.
He initially attended Indiana University, but later transferred to Georgetown University, where he averaged 4.3 ppg in the two seasons he was there.
On June 26, 2008 he was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 13th pick in the second round of the NBA Draft 2008. On August 14, 2008, Ewing was traded to the Houston Rockets along with Ron Artest and Sean Singletary for Bobby Jackson and Donte Greene. Ewing followed his father's footsteps once again, he was traded to the New York Knicks in exchange for the rights of former first round pick Frédéric Weis.
After some initial speculation that he would wear his father's retired number 33, Ewing took number 6 in honor of his favorite player Bill Russell. Number 6 was also his father's number in his final season in the NBA with the Orlando Magic and on the USA Dream Team.
Ewing played in two Knicks pre-season games prior to making his New York debut in Knicks final pre-season game on October 24, 2008. Ewing entered the game in the 4th quarter to a thunderous ovation by the Madison Square Garden crowd. Ewing helped fuel Knicks' late rally, where the Knicks would come back from a 21-point deficit. Ewing had two dunks, a three-pointer, a steal and a blocked shot. He had seven fourth-quarter points, in what many believed was the turning point in his bid to make the Knicks final roster cut. "It was amazing," said Ewing, about the crowd that night, "It showed that they really appreciated what I was doing on the floor. Having that crowd behind us throughout that comeback was good for us." In total, he played 3 pre-season games for the Knicks, averaging 8.1 minutes, 3.7 points and 1.7 rebounds. On October 27, 2008, Ewing was waived by the Knicks in order to get the roster down to the maximum of 15 players for the start of the 2008-09 season.
Ewing was signed by Knicks D-League affiliate, Reno Bighorns on December 15, 2008. On the day he signed, Ewing made his D-League debut against Utah Flash, recording 15 points. After his first 30 games with the Bighorns, Ewing had averaged 16.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game with a efficiency rating of +20.00.
On March 16, 2009, the Reno Bighorns waived Ewing after he reportedly suffered a Grade 1 MCL (medial collateral ligament) sprain.
Ewing was named to the NY Knicks Las Vegas Summer League 2009 team roster, but was unable to participate due to injury.
