David Wingate (born December 15, 1963, in Baltimore, Maryland) is a retired American professional basketball player in the NBA. The shooting guard/small forward attended Georgetown University, and was the 44th pick of the 1986 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. Wingate had a 15-year NBA career spanning from 1986 to 2001. He played for the 76ers, San Antonio Spurs, Washington Bullets, Charlotte Hornets, Seattle SuperSonics and New York Knicks. Wingate retired with the Sonics in 2001, after having played a total of 28 games in his final three NBA seasons.

During his time with the Spurs, Wingate was accused of raping first a 17-year-old woman, and a couple of days later a 21-year-old.[1] He was cleared of both charges as the victim refused to testify. It was later proven through forensic testing that the guilty party was not Wingate.
