Ewing was unavailable for the Hoyas 72-58 loss to Butler on Thursday in accordance with DC Department of Health guidelines.
The Hoyas, who have lost both games since coming off their nearly three week covid pause – and three straight overall, were also missing starters Donald Carey, Dante Harris and reserve Kobe Clark. No player updates were given although it looks as thought the team had made it to MSG.
