The 1992–93 NBA season was the Pacers' 17th season in the National Basketball Association, and 26th season as a franchise. In the offseason, the Pacers acquired Pooh Richardson and Sam Mitchell from the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team played mediocre basketball once again losing six straight games after a 13–10 start. After playing around .500 in late January, they went on a 7-game losing streak in February. However, on the final day of the regular season, they defeated the Miami Heat 94–88, finishing fifth in the Central Division with a 41–41 record, and winning a tie-breaker over the Orlando Magic for the #8 seed in the East. Reggie Miller tied in first place in the league with 167 three-point field goals, and Detlef Schrempf averaged 19.1 points per game while being selected for the 1993 NBA All-Star Game.
