The 1991-92 Philadelphia 76ers marked a challenging season. The team finished with a record of 35-47, missing the playoffs for the first time since the 1987-88 season. The departure of Charles Barkley in the offseason highlighted the franchise’s struggles. The 76ers were led by Hersey Hawkins, who averaged 20.3 points per game, providing consistency in the backcourt. Armen Gilliam contributed significantly with 16.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.
Under head coach Jim Lynam, the 76ers faced difficulties in maintaining competitiveness in a tough Atlantic Division. Injuries and lack of depth further hampered their performance. The team ranked 18th in points scored and struggled defensively, finishing 24th in points allowed. Despite a strong effort from the remaining core players, the season underscored the need for roster changes and strategic adjustments for future success.
