Knicks fans were left outraged on Thursday as City Hall made a bizarre mistake ahead of the team\u2019s championship parade.<\/p>\n

Each member of the New York roster had their jersey hung from City Hall \u2014 including Dillon Jones, who made just seven appearances for the team this season after signing on a two-way deal in January.<\/p>\n

But as The Post\u2019s Jared Schwartz captured, Jones\u2019 uniform number was displayed as No. 33, the retired number of the great Patrick Ewing.<\/p>\n

Jones wore No. 1 in his appearances for the Knicks, and No. 2 for the G League Westchester Knicks, but the confusion appears to come from the fact that he\u2019s listed as No. 33 on the Knicks\u2019 roster.<\/p>\n

Jones previously wore the number for the Wizards in last year\u2019s preseason before being cut by the team.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, fans were shocked by the mistake.<\/p>\n

\u201cEpitome of Knicks parade fail,\u201d one wrote on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cTAKE IT DOWN NOW!!!!,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n

And a third claimed: \u201csomeone\u2019s getting fired.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Ewing last suited up for the Knicks in 2000, he was ever-present during the team\u2019s championship run this year, and was in San Antonio as the team clinched the Finals on Saturday in Game 5.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The legendary big man celebrated the team\u2019s first title in 53 years as he held the Larry O\u2019Brien trophy alongside Jalen and Rick Brunson.<\/p>\n

Jones, meanwhile, did not suit up during the playoff run, and last saw the court for the Knicks back on April 12 in the regular season.<\/p>\n

The 2024 first-round pick also earned a ring with the Oklahoma City Thunder last year, for whom he made 10 appearances for in the postseason.<\/p>\n
