NBA great Patrick Ewing is hospitalized with coronavirus

Written By Gregory Charlop

NBA Hall-of-Famer Patrick Ewing was recently hospitalized with the coronavirus. His former team, the New York Knicks wished him well on Twitter:

Ewing’s illness is a reminder that we must all be careful. Strength and financial success are no protection against the virus. Please, go out there and wash your hands regularly, stay 6-feet from people, and boost your immune system with sleep and healthy foods.

Here’s Ewing’s statement:

I have tested positive for COVID-19. This virus is serious and should not be taken lightly.
