1993–94 Los Angeles Clippers season

The 1993–94 Los Angeles Clippers season was the 24th season for the Los Angeles Clippers in the National Basketball Association, and their tenth season in Los Angeles, California. The Clippers had the 13th overall pick in the 1993 NBA draft, and selected shooting guard Terry Dehere out of Seton Hall University, signed free agent and former All-Star forward Mark Aguirre, who won two consecutive NBA championships with the Detroit Pistons between 1989 and 1990, and hired Bob Weiss as their new head coach.

The Clippers played around .500 in winning percentage with a 6–6 start to the regular season. However, after holding an 11–14 record as of December 27, 1993, the team then struggled posting a seven-game losing streak between December and January, as Stanley Roberts only played just 14 games due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, and was out for the remainder of the season. The Clippers lost 10 of their 14 games in January, and held a 16–29 record at the All-Star break. At mid-season, the Clippers traded All-Star forward Danny Manning to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for All-Star forward Dominique Wilkins; Manning averaged 23.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.4 blocks per game in 42 games before the trade. Meanwhile, 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 rookies, power forward Bo Outlaw, and small forward Harold Ellis during the regular season. Despite the addition of Wilkins, the Clippers lost 14 of their final 16 games of the season, and finished in last place in the Pacific Division with a 27–55 record.

Wilkins averaged 29.1 points and 7.0 rebounds per game in 25 games for the Clippers after the trade, and was named to the All-NBA Third Team, while 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 averaged 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 and 1.5 steals per game, and Gary Grant provided with 7.5 points, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game off the bench.

During the NBA All-Star weekend at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and before the mid-season trade, Manning was selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game, as a member of the Western Conference All-Star team; it was his second and final All-Star appearance. Wilkins finished tied in eleventh place in Most Valuable Player voting. The Clippers finished last in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 471,034 at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena during the regular season, which was 27th in the league.

Following the season, Wilkins signed as a free agent with the Boston Celtics after only half a season with the Clippers, while 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.
