Milwaukee Bucks 1976-77 Roster and Stats

The 1976-77 Milwaukee Bucks experienced a season of transition and rebuilding. Under head coach Don Nelson, the team finished with a 30-52 record, placing fourth in the Midwest Division of the Western Conference. This marked a period of adjustment following the departure of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who had been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers the previous year. The Bucks struggled to find consistency, missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

Key contributors included rookie forward Marques Johnson, who made an immediate impact by averaging 19.5 points per game, and Brian Winters, who provided veteran leadership and scoring. Despite their efforts, the Bucks faced challenges in defense and depth, which hampered their playoff aspirations. The season was pivotal for reshaping the roster and setting the foundation for future success, as the team looked to build around emerging talent and return to the postseason in the following years.

Regular Season Record: 30-52
