1992–93 Utah Jazz season

The 1992–93 NBA season was the Jazz's 19th season in the National Basketball Association, and 14th season in Salt Lake City, Utah.[1] During the off-season, the Jazz acquired Jay Humphries and Larry Krystkowiak from the Milwaukee Bucks.[2] Salt Lake City hosted the 1993 NBA All-Star Game, and their star players Karl Malone and John Stockton were both named co-MVPs.[3][4] Malone and Stockton both continued to be among the best players in the NBA, as the Jazz won six of their first eight games on their way to a 24–10 start. However, they struggled down the stretch with a 6–8 record in February, including a five-game losing streak between February and March. During the final month of the regular season, the team signed free agent James Donaldson, who played in the final six games.[5] The Jazz finished third in the Midwest Division with a 47–35 record.[6] They made their tenth consecutive trip to the playoffs.[7]
