1992–93 Washington Bullets season

The 1992–93 NBA season was the Bullets' 32nd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] After Bernard King was released to free agency, the Bullets struggled after a 7–10 start losing nine consecutive games in December. They lost their final five games of the season, finishing last place in the Atlantic Division with a 22–60 record. Last year's Most Improved Player Pervis Ellison, who had a history of injuries played only 49 games. Despite the struggles, top draft pick Tom Gugliotta made the All-Rookie First Team averaging 14.7 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. On March 19, 1993 against the Chicago Bulls, second-year guard LaBradford Smith scored a career high of 37 points against Michael Jordan. However, the Bullets lost to the Bulls 104–99.[2] Following the season, Harvey Grant was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers, and Charles Jones was released.
