The 1993-94 Dallas Mavericks endured a challenging NBA season, finishing with a 13-69 record. This performance marked one of the worst in franchise history. The Mavericks struggled offensively, ranking last in the league in points per game, and defensively, allowing opponents to score an average of over 110 points per contest.
Key players included Jim Jackson, who led the team in scoring with an average of 19.2 points per game, and rookie Jamal Mashburn, who contributed 19.2 points per game. Despite these individual efforts, the team’s lack of depth and experience proved detrimental. The season was also notable for coaching instability, with Quinn Buckner being replaced by Dick Motta during the campaign. The Mavericks’ difficulties highlighted the need for rebuilding, setting the stage for future changes in the roster and management.
- Regular Season Record: 13-69
