The 1992-93 Golden State Warriors season was a challenging one, marked by significant roster changes and injuries. The team, coached by Don Nelson, finished with a 34-48 record, failing to qualify for the playoffs. This was a step back from their previous season where they had a winning record and made a playoff appearance.
Key player Chris Mullin, a part of the famed “Run TMC” trio, played only 46 games due to injuries, impacting the team’s performance. His absence put more pressure on the remaining core, including Tim Hardaway, who also faced injury woes, missing the entire season due to a knee injury. These setbacks significantly affected the team’s overall dynamics and offensive output.
Latrell Sprewell emerged as a bright spot for the Warriors, showcasing his scoring prowess and earning a spot on the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Averaging 15.4 points per game, Sprewell quickly became a focal point in the Warriors’ lineup. The team also saw production from other players such as Billy Owens and Sarunas Marciulionis, but consistency remained an issue throughout the season.
Despite the setbacks, the Warriors maintained their fast-paced and high-scoring style under Nelson’s guidance, ranking fourth in the league in points per game. However, defensive struggles were evident, as they allowed the third-most points per game, highlighting an area that needed improvement. Overall, the season was a transitional period for the Warriors, setting the stage for future adjustments and growth.
- Regular Season Record: 34-48
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
