The 1991-92 NBA season was the 76ers 43rd season in the NBA and 29th season in Philadelphia. For the season, Charles Barkley changed his jersey number to #32 in honor of Magic Johnson, who retired due to HIV. Plagued by injuries all season, the Sixers would miss the playoffs by finishing fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 35-47 record. Making matters worse, Barkley had a falling out with management when they did not resign Rick Mahorn. When the season was over, he demanded a trade which the Sixers obliged sending him to the Phoenix Suns.
