The 1993–94 NBA season was the 24th season for the Portland Trail Blazers in the National Basketball Association. In the offseason, the Blazers acquired Harvey Grant from the Washington Bullets and signed unrestricted free agent Chris Dudley. However, Dudley struggled playing just six games due to injury. The Blazers finished the season with a 47–35 record, fourth in the Pacific Division and seventh in the Western Conference. It was their 12th straight trip to the postseason. Clifford Robinson led the Blazers in scoring with 20.1 points per game, and was selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game along with Clyde Drexler.
The Blazers were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round by a 3–1 margin against the Houston Rockets, who went on to win their first of two straight NBA championships. Game 4 of that series would be the last playoff game Drexler would play as a member of the Blazers, the team that drafted him; he would be traded to the Rockets on February 14, 1995 (right before the next season's trade deadline), honoring his wish to be traded to a contender. Following the season, head coach Rick Adelman was fired.
