The 1993–94 NBA season was the 24th season for the Portland Trail Blazers in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the off-season, the Trail Blazers acquired Harvey Grant from the Washington Bullets,[2][3][4][5] and signed free agent Chris Dudley;[6][7][8] However, an ankle injury limited Dudley only to just six games this season.[9][10][11] The Trail Blazers held a 27–20 record at the All-Star break,[12] finished in fourth place in the Pacific Division with a 47–35 record, and earned the seventh seed in the Western Conference;[13] it was their twelfth consecutive trip to the NBA playoffs.[14]
Last season's Sixth Man of the Year Clifford Robinson became the team's starting center, averaging 20.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, while Clyde Drexler averaged 19.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and Rod Strickland provided the team with 17.2 points, 9.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game. In addition, Terry Porter played half of the regular season off the bench as backup point guard behind Strickland, averaging 13.1 points and 5.2 assists per game, plus leading the Trail Blazers with 110 three-point field goals, while Grant contributed 10.4 points per game, and Buck Williams provided with 9.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. Off the bench, second-year forward Tracy Murray contributed 6.6 points per game and shot .459 in three-point percentage, while Jerome Kersey provided with 6.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, and Mark Bryant averaged 5.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.[15]
Robinson and Drexler were both selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game in Minneapolis, Minnesota,[16][17][18][19][20] and Strickland finished tied in fourth place in Most Improved Player voting.[21][22][23]
The Trail Blazers were knocked out of the 1994 NBA playoffs in the Western Conference First Round, by a 3–1 margin against the Houston Rockets.[24][25][26][27] The Rockets would go on to defeat the New York Knicks in seven games in the 1994 NBA Finals, winning their first ever NBA championship.[28][29][30][31][32]
Game 4 of the Rockets-Blazers series would be the last playoff game Drexler would play as a member of the Trail Blazers, the team that drafted him; this was also his final full season with the Trail Blazers, as he would be traded to the Rockets on February 14, 1995 (right before the next season's trade deadline), honoring his wish to be traded to a contender.[33][34][35][36][37] Following the season, head coach Rick Adelman was fired.[38][39][40]
