# 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. The Lakers received the fifteenth overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft, and selected Anthony Peeler from the University of Missouri. During the off-season, the team signed free agent James Edwards, who won two championships with the Detroit Pistons. After playing in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, 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.
Under new head coach Randy Pfund, the Lakers played around .500 for the first half of the season holding a 26–23 at the All-Star break. At mid-season, the team traded Sam Perkins to the Seattle SuperSonics in exchange for Benoit Benjamin, and top draft pick Doug Christie out of Pepperdine University. However, the Lakers struggled playing below .500 for the remainder of the season, losing 11 of 12 games between March 17 and April 9, 1993, finishing in fifth place 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.
Sedale Threatt led the team with 15.1 points, 6.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game, while James Worthy finished second on the team in scoring averaging 14.9 points per game, and Byron Scott provided them with 13.7 points per game. In addition, Vlade Divac averaged 12.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, while A.C. Green contributed 12.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, Elden Campbell provided with 7.7 points and 1.3 blocks per game, and Peeler contributed 10.4 points per game off the bench.
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. However, they would lose the series in five games, losing Game 5 on the road in overtime, 112–104. The Suns would reach the NBA Finals, but would lose to the 2-time defending champion Chicago Bulls in six games.
Following the season, Green signed as a free agent with the Phoenix Suns, while Scott signed with the Indiana Pacers during the next season, and Benjamin was traded to the New Jersey Nets.
