1991–92 Atlanta Hawks season
The 1991–92 NBA season was the Hawks' 43rd season in the National Basketball Association, and 24th season in Atlanta.[1] 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.[2] 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.
Due to injury, Wilkins did not participate in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game along with Kevin Willis, who was selected to the All-NBA Third Team averaging 18.3 points and 15.5 rebounds per game. Augmon made the All-Rookie First Team averaging 13.3 points and 1.5 steals per game. Following the season, Robinson was traded to the New Jersey Nets and Cheeks was released.
