Georgetown transfer Mac McClung announced his commitment to Texas Tech.

McClung is expected to request a transfer waiver to play next season.

McClung, who averaged 15.7 points and 2.4 assists last season, picked Texas Tech over Wake Forest, Memphis, Auburn, BYU, USC and Arkansas.

The Red Raiders will have an opening at the guard position after Davide Moretti turned pro last week. 

Patrick Ewing announced on Friday that he has tested positive for COVID-19.

Ewing is currently isolated at a local hospital.

"I want to share that I have tested positive for COVID-19. This virus is serious and should not be taken lightly. I want to encourage everyone to stay safe and take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Now more than ever, I want to thank the health care workers and everyone on the front lines. I'll be fine, and we will all get through this," said Ewing in a statement.

Georgetown announced that Ewing is the only member of the men's basketball team to have tested positive throughout the pandemic. 

Mac McClung has requested to enter the transfer portal to leave Georgetown. McClung also withdrew his name from the NBA Draft. McClung will file a waiver to play immediately. 

"It was a number of different events that made me feel I had no choice but to transfer from Georgetown," McClung told ESPN. "I really wanted to stay, but things throughout my career made me realize that I couldn't.

"I'm looking for a place I can call home. A place I can be a part of a family and help them succeed."

McClung was in the midst of a breakout sophomore season, averaging 15.7 points, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 27 minutes per game, before a foot injury derailed his season after just 21 games.

Patrick Ewing, appearing on a podcast with Andy Katz on May 5, said McClung would be returning to Georgetown for his junior year. Hazan said McClung never informed Ewing of such and was blindsided to see reports of him withdrawing from the NBA draft made public while he was in the midst of navigating the pre-draft process.

"The podcast with Andy Katz was not the deciding factor to my decision to transfer," McClung said. "I think it affected my pre-draft process, and seemed to confuse a lot of teams."
