The 1989-90 Los Angeles Clippers season was their 20th season in the NBA, their 6th in Los Angeles.^[1] With the second overall pick in the 1989 NBA Draft, the Clippers selected Danny Ferry out of Duke University. However, Ferry would never join the Clippers signing with a team in Italy. This would force General Manager Elgin Baylor into trading his draft rights to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Ron Harper. The Clippers were approaching .500 at 16–19 when Harper went down to a knee injury. They would go on to lose 50 games again by finishing sixth in the Pacific Division with a 30–52 record.
