1993–94 Atlanta Hawks season

The 1993–94 NBA season was the Hawks' 45th season in the NBA and 26th season in Atlanta. In the offseason, Michael Jordan shocked the NBA by announcing his retirement.

Wilkens was a star guard for the franchise when it was based in St. Louis in the 1960's. Wilkens was quickly moving up the all-time coaching wins list after successful runs with the Seattle SuperSonics and Cleveland Cavaliers. Wilkens employed a defensive system which benefited several members of the team. The team also signed free agents Craig Ehlo and Andrew Lang during the offseason.
