The 1999-00 Washington Wizards struggled throughout the NBA season, ending with a disappointing 29-53 record. Despite having a roster featuring the likes of Mitch Richmond and Juwan Howard, the team failed to make a significant impact in the Eastern Conference.
Coached by Gar Heard, the Wizards faced challenges with injuries and inconsistent performances. They finished 6th in the Atlantic Division and missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year. Mitch Richmond led the team in scoring, averaging 17.4 points per game, but it wasn’t enough to lift the team to a winning season.
The Wizards’ performance highlighted the need for a strategic overhaul, which would eventually lead to substantial changes in their roster and management. The 1999-00 season remains a pivotal moment in the franchise’s history, marking a period of transition leading up to the arrival of Michael Jordan in a front-office role.
- Regular Season Record: 29-53
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
