NBA Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing confirmed he has left the New York Knicks organization to join the Washington Wizards’ coaching staff, telling the New York Post in an exclusive interview published July 13, 2026, that the “coaching bug hasn’t left.”
Ewing, 63, had most recently worked in an advisory capacity with the Knicks after serving as Georgetown University’s head coach from 2017 to 2023. The former All-Star center said the new role in Washington keeps him close to the game and allows him to continue pursuing his long-standing goal of coaching in the NBA.
Details of Ewing’s exact position on the Wizards bench and the length of his agreement were not disclosed.
