1993–94 Sacramento Kings season

The 1993–94 NBA season was the Kings' 45th season in the National Basketball Association, and ninth season in Sacramento.[1] With top draft pick Bobby Hurley from Duke University in the 1993 NBA draft, the Kings had a renewed optimism entering the season winning three of their first four games. However, they proceeded to lose 12 of their next 13 games including eight straight losses. In December, things got worse for the Kings as Hurley was involved in a life threatening automobile accident, and was out for the remainder of the season after playing just 19 games.[2] At midseason, the Kings acquired Olden Polynice from the Detroit Pistons as they went on to finish sixth in the Pacific Division with a 28–54 record. Mitch Richmond averaged 23.4 points per game, and was selected to start for the Western Conference in the 1994 NBA All-Star Game. Following the season, Wayman Tisdale signed as a free agent with the Phoenix Suns.
