1992–93 Los Angeles Lakers season

The 1992–93 NBA season was the Lakers' 45th season in the National Basketball Association, and 33rd in the city of Los Angeles.[1] The Lakers received the fifteenth overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft, and selected Anthony Peeler from the University of Missouri.[2][3][4][5][6] During the off-season, the team signed free agent James Edwards, who won two championships with the Detroit Pistons.[7][8] After playing in the Olympics, All-Star guard Magic Johnson attempted a comeback, but cut it short when other NBA players expressed fear of playing against him due to his HIV infection, most notably All-Star forward Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz.[9][10][11][12][13] Under new head coach Randy Pfund,[14][15][16] the Lakers played around .500 for the first half of the season holding a 26–23 at the All-Star break.[17] At midseason, the team traded Sam Perkins to the Seattle SuperSonics in exchange for Benoit Benjamin and top draft pick Doug Christie.[18][19][20][21] However, the Lakers struggled playing below .500 for the remainder of the season, losing 11 of 12 games between March 17 and April 9, finishing fifth in the Pacific Division with a 39–43 record, their worst since 1974–75, but still qualified the playoffs as the #8 seed in the Western Conference.[22]

In the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Lakers took a 2–0 series lead over regular season MVP Charles Barkley, and the top-seeded Phoenix Suns.[24][25][26] However, they would lose the series in five games, losing Game 5 on the road in overtime, 112–104.[27][28][29][30] The Suns would reach the NBA Finals, but would lose to the 2-time defending champion Chicago Bulls in six games.[31][32][33][34][35]

Following the season, Green signed as a free agent with the Phoenix Suns,[36][37][38] while Scott signed with the Indiana Pacers during the next season,[39][40][41] and Benjamin was traded to the New Jersey Nets.[42][43][44]
