The 1991-92 season was the Hawks' 45th season in the NBA. The Hawks had a complete change of the guard trading away Doc Rivers, and Spud Webb while turning over their backcourt to second year guard Rumeal Robinson and rookie Stacey Augmon. With a 22-20 record in late January, Dominique Wilkins ruptured his achilles tendon and was out for the rest of the season. Without Wilkins, the Hawks would win just 16 of their final 40 games, finishing fifth in the Central Division with a 38-44, missing the playoffs. Kevin Willis was selected for the 1992 NBA All-Star Game.
