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 6 weeks, the Clippers were sailing around .500. However, they would struggle the rest of the way topping 50 losses for the tenth consecutive season, finishing sixth in the Pacific Division with a 31-51 record, as Benoit Benjamin was traded to the Seattle Supersonics for Olden Polynice midway through the season.
