The KnicksNew York Knicks announced today that fan favorite Patrick Ewing Jr. will be the final cut from their roster.
Team president Donnie Walsh decided to instead keep shooting guard Anthony Roberson, who signed a one-year, $800,000 contract with the Knicks during the Las Vegas Summer League in July.
The Knicks were heavily leaning toward cutting Ewing before Friday night's preseason finale, but the decision became more difficult after Ewing lit up the Garden with an electrifying 9-minute stint in the fourth quarter, when he executed two monster dunks and sank a 3-pointer against the NetsNew Jersey Nets . The fans chanted his name in the final minutes.
Ewing practiced with the team today and said before he met with Walsh, "I'm getting ready for Miami (the season opener Wednesday)."
Ewing said if he did get cut he would consider playing in Europe or in the Developmental League.
