The 1989–90 NBA season was the Bucks' 22nd season in the National Basketball Association.[1] For the first time since the 1978–79 season, Sidney Moncrief was not on the team's opening day roster. During the off-season, the Bucks acquired All-Star guard Alvin Robertson and Greg Anderson from the San Antonio Spurs.[2][3][4][5][6] Early into the season, the Bucks defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in a quintuple-overtime game on November 9, 155–154 at the Bradley Center.[7][8][9][10] The team held a 27–22 record at the All-Star break.[11] At midseason, the team traded Randy Breuer to the expansion Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Brad Lohaus.[12][13][14] The Bucks finished third in the Central Division with a 44–38 record.[15]

Ricky Pierce led the team in scoring, averaging 23.0 points per game off the bench, and was named Sixth Man of the Year,[16][17][18][19] despite only playing 59 games due to a wrist injury,[20][21][22] while Jay Humphries averaged 15.3 points, 5.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game, and Robertson provided the team with 14.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.6 steals per game, and was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team. In addition, Jack Sikma provided with 13.9 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, while Paul Pressey contributed 11.0 points per game off the bench, and Fred Roberts averaged 10.5 points per game.[23]

However, in the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Bucks lost to Michael Jordan, and the Chicago Bulls in four games.[24][25][26][27] Following the season, Pressey was traded to the San Antonio Spurs.[28][29][30]
