1991–92 Atlanta Hawks season

NBA professional basketball team season

The 1991–92 NBA season was the Hawks' 43rd season in the National Basketball Association, and 24th season in Atlanta.^[1] The Hawks had the ninth pick in the 1991 NBA draft, and selected Stacey Augmon out of UNLV.^[2]^[3] During the off-season, the team acquired All-Star guard Maurice Cheeks from the New York Knicks,^[4]^[5]^[6] acquired second-year guard Travis Mays from the Sacramento Kings,^[7]^[8] and acquired Blair Rasmussen from the Denver Nuggets. However, Mays only played just two games due to two ruptured tendons in his right ankle.^[9] The Hawks got off to an 8–8 start and played .500 basketball for the first half of the season, holding a 24–23 record at the All-Star break.^[10] However, with a 22–20 record as of January 28, Dominique Wilkins ruptured his Achilles tendon and was out for the remainder of the season after playing just 42 games, averaging 28.1 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14] Without Wilkins, the Hawks would struggle and lose 24 of their final 40 games, including a 7-game losing streak in March. The Hawks finished fifth in the Central Division with a 38–44 record,^[15] missing the playoffs and losing a tie-breaker for the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference to the Miami Heat.
