1991–92 Denver Nuggets season

The 1991-92 NBA season was the Nuggets' 16th season in the NBA and 25th season as a franchise. To improve defensively, the Nuggets selected Georgetown center Dikembe Mutombo with the fourth pick in the 1991 NBA Draft. Mutombo was a native of Zaire, and spoke 9 languages (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and five African dialects). He had an immediate impact as the Nuggets showed improvement holding a 17–26 record through the first half of the season. However, in the second half of the season, the Nuggets would win just 7 of their last 39 games to post a record of 24–58. Mutombo made the All-Rookie First Team and was selected for the 1992 NBA All-Star Game.
