The 1995-96 Golden State Warriors season was a challenging campaign for the franchise. Under the guidance of head coach Rick Adelman, the Warriors struggled to find consistency, ending the season with a disappointing record of 36-46. This performance placed them 6th in the Pacific Division and out of playoff contention, continuing their postseason drought.
One of the key factors contributing to the Warriors’ struggles was the injury woes that plagued the team. Star player Tim Hardaway was traded mid-season to the Miami Heat, which significantly impacted the team’s backcourt strength. The team also dealt with injuries to key players like Chris Mullin, who only played 25 games, affecting their offensive capabilities.
Despite the setbacks, there were some bright spots. Latrell Sprewell emerged as a standout performer for the Warriors, leading the team in scoring with an average of 18.9 points per game. Rookie forward Joe Smith also showed promise, demonstrating his potential as a key player for the future with his solid contributions throughout the season.
Off the court, the Warriors underwent significant changes in their management structure, with Chris Cohan taking over as the owner. This transition marked the beginning of a new era for the franchise, though it would take several more years before the Warriors returned to playoff contention. Overall, the 1995-96 season was one of rebuilding and adjustment for Golden State, setting the stage for future developments.
- Regular Season Record: 36-46
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
