The 1992–93 NBA season was the Warriors' 47th season in the NBA and 30th in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Warriors were severely bitten by the injury bug losing their top players. Chris Mullin missed half the season with a torn ligament in his right thumb, Tim Hardaway missed 16 games with a bruised right knee, Šarūnas Marčiulionis broke his right leg and dislocated his right ankle in a jogging accident before the season, returned to play 30 games, then sat out the rest of the year with Achilles tendonitis; and Billy Owens missed 45 games with a knee injury. The Warriors finished sixth in the Pacific Division with a 34–48 record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.
The season is most memorable when the Warriors drafted Latrell Sprewell with the 24th pick of the 1992 NBA draft. Sprewell averaged 15.4 points per game and was named to the All-Rookie Second Team. Following the season, Tyrone Hill was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
