Coming off their first playoff appearance, the Hornets played around .500 for the first half of the season as Johnny Newman was traded to the New Jersey Nets for Rumeal Robinson.

With the return of Johnson and Mourning, they won 18 of their final 26 games, and finished the season fifth in the Central Division with a 41–41 record.  However, it was not enough as they narrowly missed out on a second straight playoff appearance.
