Season of National Basketball Association team the Philadelphia 76ers
The 1991–92 NBA season was the 76ers 43rd season in the National Basketball Association , and 29th season in Philadelphia .[1] For the season, Charles Barkley changed his jersey number to #32 in honor of Magic Johnson , who retired due to HIV . However, the Sixers had retired that number in honor of Billy Cunningham , who un-retired it for Barkley to wear.[2] After winning seven of their first ten games, the Sixers went on a 7-game losing streak. Plagued by injuries all season, they missed the playoffs by finishing fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 35–47 record.[3] Barkley was selected for the 1992 NBA All-Star Game , where Magic returned and won the All-Star MVP award.[4] Making matters worse for the Sixers, Barkley had a falling out with management when they did not re-sign Rick Mahorn , who went overseas to play in Italy . When the season was over, he demanded a trade which the Sixers obliged sending him to the Phoenix Suns .[5] Mahorn would later on sign as a free agent with the New Jersey Nets during the following offseason.
