The 1991–92 Denver Nuggets season was the 16th season for the Denver Nuggets in the National Basketball Association, and their 25th season as a franchise. The Nuggets received the fourth overall pick in the 1991 NBA draft, and selected 7' 2" center Dikembe Mutombo out of Georgetown University, and also selected shooting guard Mark Macon out of Temple University with the eighth overall pick, which was acquired from the Washington Bullets via trade; Mutombo was a native of Zaire, and spoke nine languages. The team also re-signed former Nuggets guard Walter Davis after a brief stint with the Portland Trail Blazers, and acquired Winston Garland from the Los Angeles Clippers.
