The 1993–94 Boston Celtics season was the 48th season of the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association (NBA).^[1] This season marked the first since 1978-79 that the Celtics failed to qualify for the NBA playoffs (a streak of 14 seasons), finishing fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 32-50 record. Tragedy struck the team prior to the season when star forward and team captain Reggie Lewis died. The absence of Lewis, and the retirements over the previous two seasons of Larry Bird and Kevin McHale contributed to the poor season. The Celtics had a 7-game winning streak in January, but also had a winless month in February. This was also Robert Parish's final season with the Celtics, as he signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Charlotte Hornets the following season.
