1990–91 Los Angeles Clippers season

NBA professional basketball team season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1990–91 NBA season was the Clippers' 21st season in the National Basketball Association, and their 7th season in Los Angeles.[1] Finishing near the bottom of the NBA continued to leave the Clippers with high draft choices, selecting Bo Kimble out of Loyola Marymount with the 8th pick, and Loy Vaught from the University of Michigan with the 13th pick in the 1990 NBA draft.[2][3][4] Through the first six weeks, the Clippers were sailing around .500. with a 10–10 record. However, they would struggle losing 12 of their next 13 games, as Ron Harper only played just 39 games due to a knee injury.[5][6] At midseason, Benoit Benjamin was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics in exchange for Olden Polynice.[7][8][9] Despite winning five straight games in late March, the Clippers finished sixth in the Pacific Division with a 31–51 record, topping 50 losses for the tenth consecutive season.[10][11]
