1993–94 Los Angeles Clippers season

The 1993–94 NBA season was the Clippers' 24th season in the National Basketball Association, and their 10th season in Los Angeles.[1] In the offseason, the Clippers signed free agent Mark Aguirre. Under new head coach Bob Weiss, the Clippers played slightly under .500, but later on struggled posting a 7-game losing streak between December and January. At midseason, the Clippers traded Danny Manning, who was selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game to the Atlanta Hawks for All-Star forward Dominique Wilkins,[2] while Aguirre was released. The team also signed undrafted rookies Bo Outlaw and Harold Ellis during the season. Wilkins averaged 29.1 points per game in 25 games for the team. However, the Clippers would lose 14 of their final 16 games and finish last place in the Pacific Division with a 27–55 record.
