The 1990-91 Cleveland Cavaliers season was the 22nd season of National Basketball Association basketball in Cleveland, Ohio. A year after overcoming injuries to make the playoffs, the Cavaliers were utterly destroyed by injuries again as Hot Rod Williams, who played in just 37 games missed half the season due to a severely sprained foot, and Mark Price missed 66 games due to a torn ACL in his left knee. The Cavaliers played around .500 early into the season, but as they stood at a 10–8 start, they struggled and lost 16 of their next 17 games, including an 11-game losing streak. Despite winning eight out of eleven games in April, the Cavaliers were unable to make the playoffs finishing 6th in the Central Division with a disappointing 33–49 record. Brad Daugherty led the team in points and rebounds and was selected for the 1991 NBA All-Star Game.
