The 1991–92 NBA season was the Magic's 3rd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] Orlando hosted the 1992 NBA All-Star Game and All-star weekend, where Nick Anderson participated in the Slam Dunk Contest (losing in the semi-final round).
During the offseason, the Magic signed free agent Anthony Bowie. Finally returning to the Eastern Conference and settling into the Atlantic Division, the Magic had a disappointing third season. After winning their first three games leading them to a 6–8 start, the team suffered a winless month in December losing all 15 games, plus a 17-game losing streak in early January. Second-year star Dennis Scott played just 18 games due to a leg injury, while leading scorer Nick Anderson, who averaged 19.9 points per game missed 22 games.
The Magic finished last place in the Atlantic Division with a 21–61 record,[2] which landed them with the number one overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft.[3] Following the season, rookie Stanley Roberts was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.
