The 1992–93 NBA season was the Timberwolves' 4th season in the National Basketball Association. In the 1992 NBA draft, the Timberwolves selected Christian Laettner out of Duke University with the third pick. In the offseason, they acquired Chuck Person and Michael Williams from the Indiana Pacers. Laettner had a solid rookie season averaging 18.2 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, while being selected to the All-Rookie First Team. Doug West continued to increase his scoring leading the team with 19.3 points per game. However, the T-Wolves continued to struggle as head coach Jimmy Rodgers was fired after a 6–23 start to the season. Under his replacement Sidney Lowe, the team suffered a 12-game losing streak in April, finishing fifth in the Midwest Division with a 19–63 record. Following the season, Felton Spencer was traded to the Utah Jazz.
