The 2002-03 Los Angeles Clippers finished the NBA season with a disappointing 27-55 record. Despite a roster featuring promising talents like Elton Brand and Lamar Odom, the team struggled to find consistency and chemistry on the court. Head coach Alvin Gentry was replaced mid-season by Dennis Johnson, but the change failed to ignite a turnaround.
Injuries also plagued the team, with key players missing significant time throughout the season. The Clippers finished 7th in the Pacific Division, missing the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year. The season highlighted the need for a more cohesive unit and better management to leverage their young talent effectively. The franchise faced criticism for its inability to retain and develop players, setting the stage for future rebuilding efforts.
- Regular Season Record: 27-55
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
