WINGATE RE-UPS WITH KNICKS

David Wingate, Patrick Ewing’s compadre from Georgetown, re-signed with the Knicks yesterday, bringing the total number of players signed for the 1999-2000 season to 12.

Wingate, a 13-year veteran, played in 20 games last season. New GM Scott Layden called Wingate a “defensive specialist” who adds “veteran leadership” to the club.
