The 1990–91 Los Angeles Clippers season was their 21st season in the NBA, their 7th in Los Angeles.^[1] Finishing near the bottom of the NBA continued to leave the Clippers with high draft choices as they selected Bo Kimble and Loy Vaught in the first round. Through the first six weeks, the Clippers were sailing around .500. However, they would struggle the rest of the way as an injury limited Ron Harper to just 39 games. Along the way, Benoit Benjamin was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics for Olden Polynice midway through the season. The Clippers finished sixth in the Pacific Division with a 31–51 record, topping 50 losses for the tenth consecutive season
