1992–93 San Antonio Spurs season

The 1992–93 NBA season was the Spurs' 17th season in the National Basketball Association, and 26th season as a franchise.[1] During the off-season, the Spurs acquired Dale Ellis from the Milwaukee Bucks,[2][3][4] signed free agents Vinny Del Negro and undrafted rookie guard Lloyd Daniels, and re-signed Avery Johnson after a brief stint with the Houston Rockets. However, prior to the start of the season, Terry Cummings suffered a serious knee injury during a pick-up game, and only played in the final eight games of the season.[5][6][7] Under new head coach, former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian,[8][9] the Spurs struggled with a 9–11 start to the season. Tarkanian was fired, then after playing one game under assistant Rex Hughes, the team hired John Lucas II as their new coach.[10][11][12] At midseason, the team traded Sidney Green to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for J.R. Reid.[13][14][15] Under Lucas, the Spurs would play solid basketball posting a 10-game winning streak in January, then winning eight straight games in February, as they held a 34–15 record at the All-Star break.[16] However, they would play below .500 for the remainder of the season, finishing second in the Midwest Division with a 49–33 record.[17]

In the playoffs, the Spurs defeated the 4th-seeded Portland Trail Blazers three games to one in the Western Conference First Round,[31][32][33][34] but lost in six games to regular season MVP Charles Barkley and the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Semi-finals.[35][36][37][38] The Suns would reach the NBA Finals, but would lose to the 2-time defending champion Chicago Bulls in six games.[39][40][41][42][43] It was also the Spurs' final year playing at the HemisFair Arena.

Following the season, Elliott was traded to the Detroit Pistons,[44][45][46][47] and Johnson signed as a free agent with the Golden State Warriors.[48][49]
