The 1991-92 NBA season was the 76ers 43rd season in the NBA and 29th season in Philadelphia.[1] For the season, Charles Barkley changed his jersey number to #32 in honor of Magic Johnson, who retired due to HIV. However, the Sixers had retired that number in honor of Billy Cunningham, who un-retired it for Barkley to wear.[2] Plagued by injuries all season, the Sixers would miss the playoffs by finishing fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 35–47 record. Making matters worse, Barkley had a falling out with management when they did not re-sign Rick Mahorn, who went overseas to play in Italy. When the season was over, he demanded a trade which the Sixers obliged sending him to the Phoenix Suns.[3]
