# 1993–94 Charlotte Hornets season

The 1993–94 NBA season was the sixth season for the Charlotte Hornets in the National Basketball Association. During the off-season, the Hornets acquired Hersey Hawkins from the Philadelphia 76ers, and Eddie Johnson from the Seattle SuperSonics. Coming off their first playoff appearance, the Hornets won six of their first eight games as they played around .500 for the first half of the season. In December, the team traded Johnny Newman to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for Rumeal Robinson. However, the Hornets would soon struggle as Larry Johnson injured his back, and second-year star Alonzo Mourning was out with a torn calf muscle and sprained ankle.
Without their star players, the Hornets lost 16 of 17 games midway through the season, including two 8-game losing streaks between January and March, and held a 22–25 record at the All-Star break. At midseason, the team traded Mike Gminski to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Frank Brickowski, and signed free agent Marty Conlon, but released him to free agency after 16 games, as he later on signed with the Washington Bullets. With the return of Johnson and Mourning, the Hornets won 18 of their final 26 games, and finished the season fifth in the Central Division with a 41–41 record. However, it was not enough as they narrowly missed out on a second straight playoff appearance, finishing just one game behind the 8th-seeded Miami Heat. The Hornets led the NBA in home-game attendance for the fifth time in six seasons.
Mourning averaged 21.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game in 60 games, and was selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game, but did not play due to being injured, while Johnson averaged 16.4 points and 8.8 rebounds per game in 51 games, and Dell Curry was named Sixth Man of the Year, averaging 16.3 points per game off the bench, and leading the team with 152 three-point field goals. In addition, Hawkins provided the team with 14.4 points and 1.6 steals per game, while Eddie Johnson contributed 11.5 points per game, and Muggsy Bogues provided with 10.8 points, 10.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
Following the season, Eddie Johnson left to play overseas in Greece, while Brickowski signed as a free agent with the Sacramento Kings, and Robinson was released to free agency.
