The 1993–94 NBA season was the 24th season of the National Basketball Association franchise based in Cleveland, Ohio.[1] During the offseason, the Cavaliers acquired Tyrone Hill from the Golden State Warriors. Under new head coach Mike Fratello, the Cavaliers struggled around .500 during the first half of the season. The Cavs were bitten by the injury bug again as Brad Daugherty and Larry Nance both missed large parts of the season. However, Mark Price would step it up leading the team in scoring, assists and was selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game, and named to the All-NBA Third Team. The Cavaliers posted an 11-game winning streak between February and March, finishing 4th in the Central Division with a 47–35 record. In the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals of the playoffs, they were swept by the Chicago Bulls in three straight games.

This was also the Cavaliers final season playing at The Coliseum in Richfield, Ohio. Following the season, Nance retired.[2] This was also Daugherty's final year of his career as he missed all of next season due to injuries.
