The New York Knickification of the Houston Rockets is continuing, and it's starting to reach the bizarre. Two sources confirmed to ClutchFans this morning that the Rockets are set to activate assistant coach and former NBA legend Patrick Ewing today before their matchup with the Lakers. The team announced later this morning that Ewing in fact is returning. "Kelvin [Cato] is going to be out for a while, longer than anticipated," said one source. "This is only temporary, but Pat has practiced with the team all year. Can he stop Shaq? No, but ten minutes a night he can give us."
