there were three instances where games had to be stopped due to damage to the goals. On February 7 in the game between the Orlando Magic and the Phoenix Suns at America West Arena, Magic rookie Shaquille O'Neal went up for a dunk and the recoil due to his massive size was too much for the stanchion to bear; the supports detached and the basket folded in on itself. On March 12, during a game between the Chicago Bulls and New Jersey Nets at Brendan Byrne Arena that was televised nationally on TNT, Nets forward Chris Morris shattered the glass behind the rim with a forceful dunk. On April 23, in another game played in New Jersey between the Nets and Magic, O'Neal struck again; this time, he dunked with so much force that the entire backboard, including the shot clock positioned above it, was pulled off the goal. This led the league to provide stronger shatterproof backboards. However, every team is still required to have a spare backboard in their home arenas just in case. Dennis Rodman played his last season with a normal hairstyle; after the Pistons traded him to the San Antonio Spurs for Sean Elliott in the ensuing offseason, he started to dye his hair in different colors. 1992–93 NBA changes The Atlanta Hawks changed their uniforms.
