1

The 1992–93 NBA season was the Clippers' 23rd season in the National Basketball Association, and their 9th season in Los Angeles. In the 1992 NBA draft, the Clippers selected Randy Woods out of La Salle University with the sixteenth overall pick, and also selected Elmore Spencer from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with the 25th overall pick. In the off-season, the team acquired Mark Jackson from the New York Knicks, acquired second-year center Stanley Roberts from the Orlando Magic in a three-team trade, acquired Hot Plate Williams from the Washington Bullets, and signed free agent Kiki Vandeweghe. After losing their first three games, the Clippers played solid basketball winning 12 of their next 16 games, and later held a 26–25 record at the All-Star break. The Clippers finished fourth in the Pacific Division with a 41–41 record, making their second consecutive playoff appearance. Danny Manning averaged 22.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, and was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game, while Ron Harper averaged 18.0 points, 4.5 assists and 2.2 steals per game, and Jackson provided the team with 14.4 points, 8.8 assists and 1.7 steals per game. In addition, Ken Norman contributed 15.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, while Roberts provided with 11.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, and Loy Vaught averaged 9.4 points and 6.2 rebounds per game off the bench. However, in the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Clippers lost to the Houston Rockets in five games. Following the season, head coach Larry Brown resigned and left to take a coaching job with the Indiana Pacers, while Norman signed as a free agent with the Milwaukee Bucks, and Vandeweghe retired. The Clippers would not make it back to the playoffs again until 1997.
