The 1995-96 Milwaukee Bucks finished the NBA season with a 25-57 record, placing them sixth in the Central Division. Despite the poor overall performance, the season marked a significant transition for the franchise. Head coach Mike Dunleavy was replaced by Chris Ford, aiming to inject new energy into the team. The Bucks were led by forward Vin Baker, who posted solid numbers, averaging 21.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.
The Bucks struggled with consistency throughout the season, particularly on the defensive end, allowing an average of 107.5 points per game. The team also faced challenges with injuries and a lack of depth, which hindered their ability to compete in the highly competitive Eastern Conference. The 1995-96 season laid the groundwork for future rebuilding efforts, as the Bucks looked to improve their roster through the draft and trades in subsequent years.
