Philadelphia 76ers 1971-72 Roster and Stats

The 1971-72 Philadelphia 76ers season was challenging, as the team struggled to find success on the court. The Sixers finished with a record of 30-52, placing them fourth in the Atlantic Division and out of playoff contention. This marked a significant decline from their previous successes in the 1960s.

The season was characterized by a lack of consistent performance, despite the efforts of players like Fred Carter and Archie Clark. Fred Carter emerged as a standout, leading the team in scoring with an average of 20.0 points per game. However, the team’s overall lack of depth and defensive struggles hindered their ability to compete against stronger opponents.

Head coach Jack Ramsay, in his second season with the team, faced difficulties in implementing a strategy that could maximize the team’s potential. The 76ers’ performance in the 1971-72 season highlighted the need for rebuilding and restructuring to return to their former glory.

Regular Season Record: 30-52
Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
