The 1992–93 season was the 23rd season of the Portland Trail Blazers in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] In the offseason, the Blazers signed free agent Rod Strickland. Despite missing 33 games due to injuries, Clyde Drexler continued to lead the Blazers in scoring with 19.9 points per game. The Blazers finished the season with a 51–31 record, third in the Pacific Division and fourth in the Western Conference. It was their 11th straight trip to the postseason. Clifford Robinson was named Sixth Man of The Year averaging 19.1 points per game off the bench. However, the Blazers were unable to follow the previous season's run to the NBA Finals, as they fell to the 5th-seeded San Antonio Spurs in the first round, 3–1. Following the season, Kevin Duckworth was traded to the Washington Bullets, and Mario Elie was dealt to the Houston Rockets.
