The 1997–98 NBA season was the Clippers' 28th season in the National Basketball Association, and their 4th season in Anaheim.[1] During the offseason, the Clippers acquired James Robinson and Stojko Vrankovic from the Minnesota Timberwolves. With Loy Vaught going down early into the season with a back injury after playing just ten games, the Clippers struggled losing 12 of their first 13 games. Midway through the season, Brent Barry was traded to the Miami Heat for last year's Most Improved Player Isaac Austin. The Clippers lost 15 of their final 17 games, including a 10-game losing streak in April, finishing last place in the Pacific Division with a 17–65 record. Lamond Murray led them in scoring with 15.4 points per game, and top draft pick Maurice Taylor made the All-Rookie Second Team. Following the season, Austin signed as a free agent with the Orlando Magic, Vaught signed with the Detroit Pistons, and head coach Bill Fitch was fired.
