1992–93 Milwaukee Bucks season

NBA professional basketball team season


The 1992–93 NBA season was the Bucks' 25th season in the National Basketball Association.[1] In the 1992 NBA draft, the Bucks selected Todd Day with the eighth overall pick, and Lee Mayberry with the 23rd overall pick, both from the University of Arkansas.[2][3][4][5][6] During the off-season, the team acquired Blue Edwards and second-year guard Eric Murdock from the Utah Jazz,[7][2][8][9] and hired Mike Dunleavy as their new Head Coach and General Manager.[10][11][12] The Bucks got off to a strong start, winning 10 of their first 13 games. However, they would struggle as they went on an 11-game losing streak in December, then posted a 7-game losing streak in January, and held a 20–31 record at the All-Star break,[13] as Moses Malone only played just eleven games due to a back injury.[14][15][16] At midseason, the team traded Alvin Robertson to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Orlando Woolridge, who only played in just eight games for the team due to a broken hand injury,[17][18][19][20] while the team signed free agent Derek Strong. The Bucks lost their final eight games of the season, finishing last place in the Central Division with a disappointing 28–54 record.[21]
