The 1993–94 New Jersey Nets season was the Nets' 27th season in the National Basketball Association, and 18th season in East Rutherford, New Jersey.[1] During the offseason, the Nets signed free agents Kevin Edwards and Armen Gilliam, while acquiring Benoit Benjamin from the Los Angeles Lakers. Without Dražen Petrović, who died in an automobile accident during the offseason; Derrick Coleman and Kenny Anderson would both step it up, having All-Star seasons being selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game. The Nets got off to a rough start losing 10 of their first 14 games, as they later on traded Rumeal Robinson to the Charlotte Hornets for Johnny Newman. However, the Nets would win 8 of their final 11 games finishing third in the Atlantic Division with a 45–37 record. In the first round of the playoffs, the Nets would lose in four games to the New York Knicks. Following the season, a frustrated Chuck Daly stepped down as head coach after clashing with Coleman and Anderson, and Newman signed as a free agent with the Milwaukee Bucks.
