The 1991–92 NBA season was the Magic's 3rd season in the National Basketball Association.[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 winning their first three games leading them to a 6–8 start, the team suffered a winless month in December losing all 15 games, plus a 17-game losing streak in early January. Injuries limited second-year star Dennis Scott to just 18 games while leading scorer Nick Anderson, who averaged 19.9 points per game 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 1992 NBA draft.[2] Following the season, rookie Stanley Roberts was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.
