1992–93 Milwaukee Bucks season

1

The 1992–93 NBA season was the Bucks' 25th season in the National Basketball Association. 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. During the off-season, the team acquired Blue Edwards and second-year guard Eric Murdock from the Utah Jazz, and hired Mike Dunleavy as their new Head Coach and General Manager. 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, as Moses Malone only played just eleven games due to a back injury. At mid-season, 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, 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. Edwards and Frank Brickowski both led the Bucks in scoring, averaging 16.9 points per game each, with Brickowski averaging 6.1 rebounds per game and Edwards contributing 1.6 steals per game, while Murdock provided the team with 14.4 points, 7.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game, and finished in second place in Most Improved Player voting. In addition, Day averaged 13.8 points per game, but was not selected to an All-Rookie Team at season's end, while rookie forward Anthony Avent contributed 9.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, and Brad Lohaus provided with 9.1 points per game off the bench. Following the season, Malone and Woolridge both left for free agency and signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, whom Malone used to play for, and with Woolridge signing during the next season, and Fred Roberts was released.
