NBA professional basketball team season
The 1992–93 New Jersey Nets season was the Nets' 26th season in the National Basketball Association , and 17th season in East Rutherford, New Jersey .[1] The Nets hired Chuck Daly as head coach,[2] acquired Rumeal Robinson from the Atlanta Hawks , acquired Jayson Williams from the Philadelphia 76ers , and signed free agents Chucky Brown and Rick Mahorn during the off-season. Under Daly, the Nets continued to improve getting off to a solid 31–24 start, before losing second-year star Kenny Anderson for the remainder of the season to a wrist injury after 55 games.[3] Midway through the season, the Nets signed free agents Maurice Cheeks and former All-Star forward Bernard King . Despite losing ten of their final eleven games, the team finished third in the Atlantic Division with a 43–39 record.[4] Dražen Petrović and Derrick Coleman were both selected to the All-NBA Third Team, as Petrović led the team in scoring averaging 22.3 points per game, and Coleman averaged 20.7 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. Anderson provided the team with 16.9 points, 8.2 assists and 1.7 steals per game in his first season as a starter, while Chris Morris contributed 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game, and Sam Bowie provided with 9.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.[5] The club qualified for the playoffs , but were eliminated in the Eastern Conference First Round by the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games.[6]
Following the season, tragedy struck as Petrović died in a car accident in Munich, Germany on June 7, 1993.[7] The Nets retired his #3 jersey, as Petrović would later on be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame posthumously. Also following the season, Bowie was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers , Chris Dudley signed as a free agent with the Portland Trail Blazers , Brown signed with the Dallas Mavericks , and King and Cheeks both retired.
