The New York Knicks were leaning towards waiving Patrick Ewing Jr. by tomorrow's deadline in order to get their roster down to 15 players, but Friday's performance may have just won him a spot on the roster, the New York Post is reporting.
Ewing was the talk of the Garden after exploding in a nine minute stretch which saw two monster dunks and a three pointer, a blocked shot and midcourt steal that triggered a fastbreak and points for Nate Robinson Nate Robinson.
Ewing drove the fans into a frenzy, leading to the Garden chanting "Pat-rick Ew-ing".
"It showed they really appreciated and like what I do on the floor," Ewing said. "I feel that helped with our comeback."
Ewing has been fighting with guard Anthony Roberson for the final roster spot. Roberson signed a one year, $850,000 contract in the off-season while Ewing is owed $430,000.
