1993–94 Los Angeles Clippers season
The 1993–94 NBA season was the Clippers' 24th season in the National Basketball Association, and their 10th season in Los Angeles. The Clippers had the thirteenth overall pick in the 1993 NBA draft, and selected Terry Dehere out of Seton Hall University. In the off-season, the team signed free agent Mark Aguirre, who won two championships with the Detroit Pistons from 1989 to 1990. Under new head coach Bob Weiss, the Clippers played slightly under .500 with an 11–14 start, but then struggled posting a 7-game losing streak between December and January, as Stanley Roberts only played just 14 games due to a ruptured Achilles tendon. The team held a 16–29 record at the All-Star break. At midseason, the Clippers traded Danny Manning, who was selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game, to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for All-Star forward Dominique Wilkins, while Aguirre was released to free agency after 39 games and retired, averaging 10.6 points per game off the team's bench as their sixth man. The team also signed undrafted rookie forwards Bo Outlaw and Harold Ellis during the season. However, the Clippers would lose 14 of their final 16 games and finish last place in the Pacific Division with a 27–55 record. Wilkins averaged 29.1 points per game in 25 games for the team after the trade, and was selected to the All-NBA Third Team, while team captain Ron Harper averaged 20.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.9 steals per game, and Mark Jackson provided the team with 10.9 points, 8.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game. In addition, Loy Vaught provided with 11.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, while second-year center Elmore Spencer contributed 8.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, Ellis contributed 8.7 points per game, and Gary Grant averaged 7.5 points, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game off the bench. Following the season, Wilkins signed as a free agent with the Boston Celtics, Harper signed with the Chicago Bulls, Jackson was traded to the Indiana Pacers, Weiss was fired as head coach after only one season with the Clippers, and Hot Plate Williams was released to free agency after serving a season half suspension due to continuing weight problems.
