1992–93 Philadelphia 76ers season
The 1992–93 NBA season was the 76ers 44th season in the National Basketball Association, and 30th season in Philadelphia. During the offseason, the Sixers acquired Jeff Hornacek, Andrew Lang and Tim Perry from the Phoenix Suns. The Sixers got off to a bad start losing 11 of their first 14 games. The team also suffered two defeats that were greater than 50 points. As the NBA in the 1990s emphasized more defensive play, head coach Doug Moe tried to implement an up-tempo attack offense similar to his Nuggets teams of the 1980s, which failed miserably. With the team holding a 19–37 record in early March, he was fired and replaced with Fred Carter.
On March 28, during a nationally televised broadcast game between the Suns and the Sixers, former 76ers forward Charles Barkley received a standing ovation from his former home fans at The Spectrum. When the Sixers team was introduced, the crowd booed loudly at them. The Suns went on to win 110–100. During the final month of the regular season, the Sixers signed undrafted free agent Thomas Jordan, who played in the final four games averaging 11.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. The Sixers finished sixth in the Atlantic Division with a 26–56 record. Top draft pick Clarence Weatherspoon made the All-Rookie Second Team.
Following the season, Hersey Hawkins was traded to the Charlotte Hornets, Armen Gilliam and Ron Anderson both signed as free agents with the New Jersey Nets, Lang signed with the Atlanta Hawks, Manute Bol signed with the Miami Heat, and Jordan was released and returned to playing overseas, ending his short lived stint in the NBA.NBA Draft
