The 2015-16 Philadelphia 76ers season was a challenging period for the franchise, marked by a historically poor performance. Under head coach Brett Brown, the team ended with a dismal 10-72 record, matching the third-worst single-season record in NBA history. This season was part of the team’s rebuilding strategy known as “The Process,” led by then-general manager Sam Hinkie, who resigned in April 2016.
The roster featured young players like Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor, and Robert Covington, but struggled to find success on the court. Okafor, a rookie center, showed promise by averaging 17.5 points per game, though injuries limited his impact. The 76ers’ troubles were compounded by the absence of key draft pick Joel Embiid due to injury. Despite the lack of wins, the season laid the groundwork for future improvement, ultimately leading to better results in subsequent years.
- Regular Season Record: 10-72
