1991–92 Sacramento Kings season

The 1991–92 Sacramento Kings season was the 43rd season for the Sacramento Kings in the National Basketball Association, and their seventh season in Sacramento, California. The Kings received the third overall pick in the 1991 NBA draft, and selected small forward Billy Owens out of Syracuse University, but later on traded him to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Mitch Richmond before the start of the regular season. The team also acquired Spud Webb from the Atlanta Hawks during the off-season, and traded Bob Hansen to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Dennis Hopson after the first two games of the season.

With the addition of Richmond and Webb, the Kings continued to struggle losing 9 of their first 12 games of the regular season. The team's road-game losing streak reached to 43 consecutive road losses before defeating the Orlando Magic, 95–93 at the Orlando Arena on November 23, 1991. After a 7–18 start to the season, head coach Dick Motta was fired and replaced with Rex Hughes. Under Hughes, the Kings held a 16–31 record at the All-Star break, and later on posted a 10-game losing streak in March, but managed to win five of their final seven games of the season, finishing in last place in the Pacific Division with a 29–53 record. The team missed the NBA playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.

Richmond averaged 22.5 points and 5.1 assists per game, and led the Kings with 103 three-point field goals, while second-year star Lionel Simmons averaged 17.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, and Wayman Tisdale provided the team with 16.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. In addition, Webb contributed 16.0 points, 7.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game, while Hopson contributed 10.7 points per game, second-year forward Anthony Bonner provided with 9.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, and second-year center Duane Causwell averaged 8.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game.

During the NBA All-Star weekend at the Orlando Arena in Orlando, Florida, Richmond and Jim Les both participated in the NBA Three-Point Shootout. The Kings finished eighth in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 697,574 at the ARCO Arena II during the regular season. Following the season, Hopson retired after only five seasons in the NBA.
