The 1991-92 NBA season was the Spurs' 16th season in the NBA and 25th season as a franchise. During the offseason, the Spurs acquired Antoine Carr from the Sacramento Kings, then in December signed free agent Vinnie Johnson. Through most of the first half of the season, the Spurs struggled with mediocrity holding a 21–17 record in late January, as head coach Larry Brown suddenly stepped down and took a coaching job with the Los Angeles Clippers. Under replacement Bob Bass, the Spurs would play slightly stronger finishing second in the Midwest Division with a 47–35 record. David Robinson made the All-NBA First Team and was named Defensive Player of The Year. In the first round of the playoffs, the Spurs were swept by the Phoenix Suns in three straight games. Following the season, Rod Strickland signed as a free agent with the Portland Trail Blazers and Johnson retired.
