The 2002–03 NBA season was the Hawks' 54th season in the National Basketball Association, and 35th season in Atlanta.[1] Atlanta hosted the 2003 NBA All-Star Game. In the offseason, the Hawks acquired All-Star forward Glenn Robinson from the Milwaukee Bucks.[2] With the addition of Robinson and Theo Ratliff playing a full season after dealing with injuries, the Hawks would get off to a 6–4 start, which included a road win over the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, 95–83 at Staples Center on November 12. However, they would proceed to struggle as head coach Lon Kruger was fired after Christmas with the team floundering at 11–16. Under replacement Terry Stotts, the Hawks lost 12 of their next 15 games. Despite winning six of their final eight games in April, they finished fifth in the Central Division with a 35–47 record. Robinson led the Hawks in scoring with 20.8 points per game in his only season in Atlanta. Following the season, he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, and Ira Newble signed as a free agent with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
