1993–94 Washington Bullets season

The 1993–94 NBA season was the Bullets' 33rd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] The Bullets received the sixth pick in the 1993 NBA draft, and selected Calbert Cheaney out of Indiana University.[2] In the offseason, the team acquired Kevin Duckworth from the Portland Trail Blazers, signed free agents Kenny Walker and undrafted rookie guard Mitchell Butler, and released LaBradford Smith to free agency after seven games, as he later on signed with the Sacramento Kings. However, Duckworth never lived up to expectations as he struggled with weight problems. After a 6–6 start to the season, the Bullets struggles continued losing ten straight games in December, then suffering a nine-game losing streak in March. Injuries continued to bite the team as key players Cheaney, and Rex Chapman both missed significant stretches, and Pervis Ellison missed half of the season again. The Bullets finished last place in the Atlantic Division with a 24–58 record.[3]
