1991–92 Orlando Magic season
The 1991–92 NBA season was the Magic's 3rd season in the NBA.[1] Orlando also hosted the 1992 NBA All-Star Game. During the offseason, the Magic signed free agent Anthony Bowie. Finally returning to the Eastern Conference and settling into the Atlantic Division, the Magic had a disappointing third season. After a 6–8 start to the season, the team suffered a winless month in December losing all 15 games, plus a 17-game losing streak. Injuries limited Dennis Scott to just 18 games while leading scorer Nick Anderson missed 22 games. The Magic finished last place in the Atlantic Division with a 21–61 record, which landed them with the number one overall pick in the Draft Lottery.
