The 1991–92 NBA season was the Nets' 25th season in the National Basketball Association, and 16th season in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Nets selected point guard Kenny Anderson out of Georgia Tech with the second overall pick in the 1991 NBA draft. However, Anderson held out early due to a contract dispute, and Roy Hinson would miss the entire season with a knee injury, as the Nets struggled losing 11 of their first 13 games. After a 7–18 start, the team managed to win nine of their next twelve games, and held a 19–28 record at the All-Star break. The Nets finished third in the Atlantic Division with a 40–42 record.
