1991–92 Atlanta Hawks season

The 1991–92 NBA season was the Hawks' 43rd season in the National Basketball Association, and 24th season in Atlanta.[1] During the offseason, the Hawks acquired Maurice Cheeks from the New York Knicks. The Hawks had a complete change of guards turning over their backcourt to second-year guard Rumeal Robinson, and top draft pick Stacey Augmon out of UNLV. However, with a 22–20 record in late January, Dominique Wilkins ruptured his achilles tendon and was out for the remainder of the season.[2] Without Wilkins, the Hawks would lose 24 of their final 40 games, including a 7-game losing streak. They finished fifth in the Central Division with a 38–44 record, missing the playoffs and losing a tie-breaker for the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference to the Miami Heat.
