NBA professional basketball team season

Rex Hughes Gregg Lukenbill SportsChannel Pacific

The 1991–92 Sacramento Kings season was the 43rd season for the Sacramento Kings in the National Basketball Association, and their seventh season in Sacramento, California. The Kings received the third overall pick in the 1991 NBA draft, and selected small forward Billy Owens out of Syracuse University, but later on traded him to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Mitch Richmond before the start of the regular season. The team also acquired Spud Webb from the Atlanta Hawks during the off-season, and traded Bob Hansen to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Dennis Hopson after the first two games of the season.

However, the Kings continued to struggle as their road losing streak reached to 43 consecutive road losses before defeating the Orlando Magic, 95–93 at the Orlando Arena on November 23, 1991. The Kings would change coaches again firing Dick Motta after a 7–18 start to the season. However, under his replacement Rex Hughes, the Kings posted a 10-game losing streak in March, finishing in last place in the Pacific Division with a 29–53 record.

Richmond averaged 22.5 points and 5.1 assists per game, and led the Kings with 103 three-point field goals, while second-year star Lionel Simmons averaged 17.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, and Wayman Tisdale provided the team with 16.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. In addition, Webb contributed 16.0 points, 7.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game, while Hopson contributed 10.7 points per game, second-year forward Anthony Bonner provided with 9.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, and second-year center Duane Causwell averaged 8.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game.

During the NBA All-Star weekend at the Orlando Arena in Orlando, Florida, Richmond and Jim Les both participated in the NBA Three-Point Shootout. Following the season, Hopson retired after only five seasons in the NBA.
