The 1988–89 NBA season was the Hawks' 40th season in the NBA and 21st season in Atlanta. After falling into the second round of the playoffs for three straight seasons, the Hawks signed free agent and All-Star forward Moses Malone, who won a championship with the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1983 NBA Finals, acquired All-Star guard Reggie Theus from the Sacramento Kings, and signed undrafted rookie forward Duane Ferrell during the off-season. However, Kevin Willis was out with a broken foot suffered during the preseason, and was later on suspended indefinitely for missing functions and rehabilitation therapy.
