The 1992–93 Seattle SuperSonics season was the 25th season for the Seattle SuperSonics in the National Basketball Association. During the first month of the regular season, the SuperSonics acquired Vincent Askew from the Sacramento Kings. With George Karl in his first full season as the SuperSonics' head coach, the team won their first four games of the season, which included two victories against the Houston Rockets in their first two games overseas in Yokohama, Japan.
At mid-season, the team traded Benoit Benjamin, and top draft pick Doug Christie out of Pepperdine University to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Sam Perkins. With a 33–17 record at the All-Star break, the SuperSonics won ten straight games between February and March, and posted an 8-game improvement over the previous season by finishing in second place in the Pacific Division with a 55–27 record, and earning the third seed in the Western Conference.
Shawn Kemp averaged 17.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, while Ricky Pierce averaged 18.2 points and 1.3 steals per game, and Gary Payton provided the team with 13.5 points, 4.9 assists and 2.2 steals per game. In addition, sixth man Eddie Johnson contributed 14.4 points per game off the bench, while Derrick McKey provided with 13.4 points and 1.4 steals per game, and Perkins averaged 12.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in 30 games after the trade. Meanwhile, Dana Barros contributed 7.8 points per game, Nate McMillan provided with 7.5 points, 5.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game, Michael Cage averaged 6.1 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, and Askew contributed 6.0 points per game.
During the NBA All-Star weekend at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, Kemp was selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game, as a member of the Western Conference All-Star team; it was his first ever All-Star appearance. In addition, Kemp was also selected to participate in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, but withdrew due to a sore right thumb, while Barros participated in the NBA Three-Point Shootout. Kemp also finished tied in tenth place in Most Valuable Player voting, while Payton finished in sixth place in Most Improved Player voting, with Kemp finishing tied in eleventh place, and Karl finished in third place in Coach of the Year voting.
In the Western Conference First Round of the 1993 NBA playoffs, the SuperSonics faced off against the 6th–seeded Utah Jazz, who were led by the trio of All-Star forward Karl Malone, All-Star guard John Stockton, and Jeff Malone. The Jazz took a 2–1 series lead, but the SuperSonics managed to win the next two games, winning Game 5 over the Jazz at home, 100–92 at the Seattle Center Coliseum to win in a full five-game series.
In the Western Conference Semi-finals, the team faced off against the 2nd–seeded, and Midwest Division champion Rockets, a team that featured All-Star center, and Defensive Player of the Year, Hakeem Olajuwon, All-Star forward Otis Thorpe, and Vernon Maxwell; despite both teams finishing with the same record during the regular season, the SuperSonics had home-court advantage in the series. With the series tied at 3–3, the SuperSonics defeated the Rockets in a hard-fought seven-game series, which included a Game 7 home win in overtime, 103–100 at the Seattle Center Coliseum.
In the Western Conference Finals, the SuperSonics then faced off against the top–seeded, and Pacific Division champion Phoenix Suns, who were led by the All-Star trio of Most Valuable Player of the Year, Charles Barkley, three-point specialist Dan Majerle, and Kevin Johnson. With the series tied at 3–3, the SuperSonics lost to the Suns in a hard-fought seven-game series, losing Game 7 on the road, 123–110 at the America West Arena, in which Barkley scored 44 points along with 24 rebounds. The Suns would reach the 1993 NBA Finals, but would lose to the 2-time defending NBA champion Chicago Bulls in six games.
The SuperSonics finished 12th in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 646,589 at the Seattle Center Coliseum during the regular season. Following the season, McKey was traded to the Indiana Pacers, and Johnson and Barros were both dealt to the Charlotte Hornets, who then sent Barros to the Philadelphia 76ers two days later.
