1993-94

Larry Brown moved on to coach the Indiana Pacers for the 1993-94 season, but the Clippers began the season very competitive under new head coach Bob Weiss. The Clippers were 9-10 by mid-December, but unfortunately stumbled to 16-29 by the All-Star break and finished the season at 27-55. One personnel change kept things interesting in the Clippers' camp during the second half. At the February 24 trading deadline, Danny Manning, the team's leading scorer, was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Dominique Wilkins, who for years had been one of the NBA's top scorers and most exciting players. Wilkins sparked the club to five straight wins after the trade, and the team entered March like a lion. However, they finished the month like a lamb, winning only 3 of their final 17 games. Wilkins finished the season with 26.0 points per game, fourth in the league. Ron Harper added 20.1 points per contest, and Mark Jackson ranked eighth in the league in assists (8.6 apg). After the season Clippers management fired Weiss and replaced him with Bill Fitch.
