The 1995-96 Philadelphia 76ers endured a challenging season, finishing with a 18-64 record. This placed them last in the Atlantic Division and tied for the worst record in the NBA with the Vancouver Grizzlies. Led by head coach John Lucas, the team struggled offensively and defensively, contributing to their poor performance. The 76ers’ roster included players like Jerry Stackhouse, who was a bright spot as a rookie, averaging 19.2 points per game. Despite his efforts, the team faced significant difficulties in competing against stronger opponents.
Injuries and a lack of depth further hampered the 76ers’ ability to perform consistently. Off the court, the season was marked by a focus on rebuilding, with the team looking to develop younger talent. The struggles of this season eventually led to significant changes in the following years, including the acquisition of Allen Iverson in the 1996 NBA Draft, which would alter the franchise’s trajectory. Overall, the 1995-96 season was a period of transition and set the stage for future rebuilding efforts.
