The 1993–94 NBA season was the Bucks' 26th season in the National Basketball Association.[1] In the 1993 NBA draft, the Bucks selected Vin Baker from the University of Hartford with the eighth overall pick.[2][3][4][5][6] During the off-season, the team signed free agent Ken Norman.[7][8][9] However, the Bucks struggled all season long posting a 10-game losing streak early into the season, and held a 14–34 record at the All-Star break.[10] At midseason, Frank Brickowski was traded to the Charlotte Hornets, while second-year forward Anthony Avent was dealt to the Orlando Magic, and Danny Schayes was sold to the Los Angeles Lakers.[11][12][13][14] The Bucks went on to lose 22 of their final 25 games, including a nine-game losing streak in April, finishing last place in the Central Division with a franchise worst record of 20–62,[15] a record that stood for 20 years until the 2013–14 team posted a 15–67 record during the first year of the future Bucks' superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo era.

Eric Murdock led the team with 15.3 points, 6.7 assists and 2.4 steals per game, while Baker averaged 13.5 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Second-year guard Todd Day provided the team with 12.7 points and 1.4 steals per game, while Norman provided with 11.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, and Blue Edwards contributed 11.6 points per game.[16] Following the season, Norman was traded to the Atlanta Hawks,[17][18] while Edwards and Derek Strong were both dealt to the Boston Celtics,[19][20] and Brad Lohaus signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat.[21]

For the season, the Bucks changed their primary logo, which showed a more regal looking buck, ditching their previous logo of a cartoonish buck spinning a basketball.[22] The team also added new uniforms with side panels on their shorts, plus adding purple to their color scheme of dark green.[23][24] The new logo remained in use until 2006, while the uniforms lasted until 2001, where they added purple, and green side panels to the side of their home and road jerseys respectively.
