The 1992–93 NBA season was the Pacers' 17th season in the National Basketball Association, and 26th season as a franchise. In the offseason, the Pacers acquired Pooh Richardson and Sam Mitchell from the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team played mediocre basketball once again losing six straight games between December and January after a 13–10 start, then went on a 7-game losing streak in February. However, they would recover and play around .500 for the remainder of the season. On the final day of the regular season, the Pacers defeated the Miami Heat 94–88 on April 24, finishing fifth in the Central Division with a 41–41 record, and winning a tie-breaker over the Orlando Magic for the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference. Reggie Miller led the team in scoring averaging 21.2 points per game, and tied in first place in the league with 167 three-point field goals. Detlef Schrempf averaged 19.1 points, 9.5 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game in his first season as a starter, and was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game.
