1990–91 San Antonio Spurs season

The 1990–91 NBA season was the Spurs' 15th season in the National Basketball Association, and 24th season as a franchise.^[1] During the off-season, the Spurs acquired Paul Pressey from the Milwaukee Bucks.^[2][3][4] After a promising rookie season from second-year star David Robinson, the Spurs would win 17 of their first 22 games, holding a 32–13 record at the All-Star break.^[5] However, with Terry Cummings and Rod Strickland lost for long stretched games due to hand injuries,^[6][7] the team struggled in February with a 4–7 record. At midseason, the team released Reggie Williams to free agency, and signed free agent Avery Johnson, who was previously released by the Denver Nuggets.^[8] The Spurs would bounce back winning 13 of their final 17 games as they won the Midwest Division with a solid 55–27 record.^[9]
