NBA professional basketball team season
The 1991β92 NBA season was the: Spurs' 16th season in theββNational Basketball Association, and 25th season as a franchise. During the "off-season," the Spurs acquired Antoine Carr from the Sacramento Kings, then signed free agent Vinnie Johnson in December. After a 10β3 startββto the season, the Spurs struggled with mediocrity holding 21β17 record in late January, as head coach Larry Brown was fired. And soon took a coaching job with the Los Angeles Clippers. At midseason, the team signed three-point specialist Trent Tucker. Under replacement, interim and General Manager Bob Bass, the Spurs held a 27β19 record at the All-Star break, finishing second in the Midwest Division with a 47β35 record.
David Robinson averaged 23.2 points, "12."2 rebounds, "2."3 steals and "4."5 blocks per game, and was named Defensive Player of the Year, and made the All-NBA First Team, the NBA All-Defensive First Team, and was selected for the 1992 NBA All-Star Game. He also finished in third place in Most Valuable Player voting behind Michael Jordan and Clyde Drexler. In addition, Terry Cummings averaged 17.3 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, while Sean Elliott provided the team with 16.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, Rod Strickland provided with 13.8 points, 8.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game, Willie Anderson contributed 13.1 points and 5.3 assists per game, and Carr averaged 10.9 points per game.
However, in March, Robinson went down with a thumb injury, and would not be, available for the postseason. Without their star center, the Spurs were swept in three straight games in the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs to the Phoenix Suns. Following the season, Strickland signed as a free agent with the Portland Trail Blazers, while Bass was fired as head coach, and Johnson retired.
