1992–93 Milwaukee Bucks season

The 1992–93 Milwaukee Bucks season was the 25th season for the Milwaukee Bucks in the National Basketball Association. In the 1992 NBA draft, the Bucks selected shooting guard Todd Day with the eighth overall pick, and selected point guard 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.

Under Dunleavy, and with the addition of Edwards, Murdock, Day and Mayberry, the Bucks got off to a strong start by winning 10 of their first 13 games of the regular season. However, the team soon struggled posting an 11-game losing streak in December afterwards, then posted a seven-game losing streak in January, and later on held a 20–31 record at the All-Star break. Moses Malone only played just eleven games due to a back injury. At mid-season, the Bucks 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, and finished in last place in the Central Division with a disappointing 28–54 record.

Edwards averaged 16.9 points and 1.6 steals per game, while Frank Brickowski averaged 16.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, and Murdock provided the team with 14.4 points, 7.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game. In addition, Day averaged 13.8 points per game, but was not named to an NBA All-Rookie Team at season's end, while rookie power forward Anthony Avent contributed 9.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. Off the bench, Brad Lohaus averaged 9.1 points per game, while Fred Roberts contributed 7.6 points per game, Strong provided with 6.8 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in 23 games, Mayberry contributed 5.2 points and 3.3 assists per game, and Danny Schayes averaged 4.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game.

Murdock finished in second place in Most Improved Player voting, behind Chris Jackson of the Denver Nuggets, while Edwards finished tied in ninth place. The Bucks finished tenth in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 660,939 at the Bradley Center during the regular season.

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 Roberts was released.
