1990–91 Dallas Mavericks season
The 1990-91 NBA season was the Mavericks' 11th season in the NBA.[1] During the offseason, the Mavericks signed free agent Alex English. The Mavericks troubles would start early as Fat Lever and Roy Tarpley were both lost early in the season with season ending injuries. While on the injured list, Tarpley again would be suspended for substance abuse by the NBA. Despite winning four of their first five games, the Mavericks struggled all season and lost 10 of their final 13 games, finishing sixth in the Midwest Division with a 28–54 record. Following the season, English retired.
