1992–93 Los Angeles Clippers season
The 1992–93 NBA season was the Clippers' 23rd season in the National Basketball Association, and their 9th season in Los Angeles. Prior to the start of the season, the Clippers acquired Mark Jackson from the New York Knicks, second-year center Stanley Roberts from the Orlando Magic, and signed free agents Kiki Vandeweghe and Hot Plate Williams. After losing their first three games, the Clippers played solid basketball winning 12 of their next 16 games. Danny Manning led them in scoring again with 22.8 points per game, and was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game. The Clippers finished fourth in the Pacific Division with a 41–41 record, making their second consecutive playoff appearance. However, in the first round of the playoffs, they lost to the Houston Rockets in five games. Following the season, Larry Brown resigned and left to take a coaching job with the Indiana Pacers, Ken Norman signed as a free agent with the Milwaukee Bucks, and Vandeweghe retired.
The Clippers would not make the playoffs again until 1997.Draft Picks
