During the offseason, the Pacers acquired Jalen Rose from the Denver Nuggets.  Injuries and sluggish play would hamper the Pacers all season long as Rik Smits only played just 52 games due to a foot injury, and Derrick McKey appeared in just 50 games due to a ruptured Achilles tendon.  They missed the playoffs for the first time in eight years with a disappointing 39–43 record, sixth in the Central Division.  Reggie Miller averaged 21.6 points per game and led the league with 229 three-point field goals.  At midseason, the Pacers brought back playmaker Mark Jackson in exchange for Eddie Johnson after a brief stint with the Denver Nuggets.  Jackson would remain with the Pacers until 2000, where the team reached the NBA Finals.  He also led the league with 11.4 assists per game.

It was the most points for Bird since February 15, 1988, when he scored 49 at Phoenix Suns.  Bird was also selected for the 1992 NBA All-Star Game along with Reggie Lewis, but did not play due to injury.

Tendinitis (also tendonitis), meaning inflammation of a tendon, is a type of tendinopathy often confused with the more common tendinosis, which has similar symptoms but requires different treatment.  (The suffix "-itis" denotes diseases characterized by inflammation.)  The term tendinitis is generally reserved for tendon injuries that involve larger-scale acute injuries accompanied by inflammation.  Tendinitis is typically referred to in combination with the body part involved, such as Achilles tendinitis (affecting the Achilles tendon), or patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee, affecting the patellar tendon). The 1991–92 NBA season was the Hawks' 43rd season in the National Basketball Association, and 24th season in Atlanta.  During the offseason, the Hawks acquired Maurice Cheeks from the New York Knicks.  The Hawks had a complete change of guards turning over their backcourt to second-year guard Rumeal Robinson, and top draft pick Stacey Augmon out of UNLV.  However, with a 22–20 record in late January, Dominique Wilkins ruptured his achilles tendon and was out for the remainder of the season.  Without Wilkins, the Hawks would lose 24 of their final 40 games, including a 7-game losing streak.  They finished fifth in the Central Division with a 38–44 record, missing the playoffs and losing a tie-breaker for the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference to the Miami Heat.
