The 1992–93 NBA season was the fifth season for the Charlotte Hornets in the National Basketball Association.[1] In the 1992 NBA draft, the Hornets selected Alonzo Mourning out of Georgetown University with the second overall pick.[2] The team signed free agent David Wingate during the first month of the regular season,[3] and later on traded J.R. Reid to the San Antonio Spurs for Sidney Green in December.[4] With the addition of Mourning, along with second-year star Larry Johnson and Muggsy Bogues, the Hornets struggled losing four of their first six games, but then went on a five-game winning streak afterwards, and won 9 of their final 12 games finishing their season third in the Central Division with a 44–38 record, and qualified for their first ever playoff appearance.[5]

The team became the first of the four expansion franchises of the late 1980s to win a playoff series, when Mourning sunk a 20-foot (6.1 m) jumper at the buzzer in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round playoff series against the 4th-seeded Boston Celtics.[6] However, in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals, the Hornets were eliminated by the New York Knicks in five games.[7] The Hornets led the NBA in attendance for the fourth time in five seasons.

Johnson averaged 22.1 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team, and selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game,[8] while Mourning averaged 21.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game, was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, and finished in second place in Rookie of the Year voting behind Shaquille O'Neal of the Orlando Magic.[9][10] In addition, Bogues provided the team with 10.0 points, 8.8 assists and 2.0 steals per game, while Kendall Gill averaged 16.9 points and 1.4 steals per game, sixth man Dell Curry provided them with 15.3 points per game off the bench, and Johnny Newman contributed 11.9 points per game.[11] Following the season, Gill was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics,[12] and Green was released to free agency.
