1993–94 Los Angeles Lakers season The 1993–94 NBA season was the Lakers' 46th season in the National Basketball Association, and 34th in the city of Los Angeles. During the offseason, the Lakers acquired Sam Bowie from the New Jersey Nets and re-signed free agent Kurt Rambis. The Lakers continued to struggle as they lost 9 of their first 12 games. Head coach Randy Pfund was fired after a 27–37 start, and was replaced with Bill Bertka for the next two games. With the team out of playoff position and struggling in March, they decided to bring Magic Johnson back as their new coach. Under Magic, the Lakers won five of their next six games. However, they lost their final ten games of the season and finished fifth in the Pacific Division with a 33–49 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since 1975–76. Second round draft pick Nick Van Exel was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team. Following the season, Magic resigned as coach, twelve-year veteran James Worthy retired, and second-year guard Doug Christie was traded to the New York Knicks.

1992 Los Angeles Dodgers season The 1992 Los Angeles Dodgers season was a poor one for the team as it finished last in the Western Division of the National League with a record of 63 wins and 99 losses. Despite boasting what was nicknamed the "Outfield of Dreams", being manned by Eric Davis, Brett Butler, and Darryl Strawberry, injuries to key players and slumps from others contributed to the franchise's worst season since moving to Los Angeles. Additionally, the Dodgers cancelled four home games during the season due to the L.A. Riots. Despite the poor finish, the Dodgers had some hope for the future as first baseman Eric Karros won the National League Rookie of the Year Award, the first of five consecutive Dodger players to do so. The 1992 season also saw the Dodgers drop television station KTTV Ch.11 as their chief broadcaster of Dodger baseball, ending a 34 year-35 consecutive season association with that station. Additionally, it was the first time the Dodgers lost 90 games in a season since 1944.
