The 1999-00 Los Angeles Clippers endured another challenging NBA season, finishing with a 15-67 record. This marked a slight improvement from the previous season’s 9-41 record in the lockout-shortened 1998-99 campaign. Under head coach Chris Ford, the team struggled to find consistency on both ends of the floor.
Key players included Maurice Taylor, who led the team in scoring with 17.1 points per game, and Lamar Odom, the promising rookie who averaged 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 4.2 assists. Despite their efforts, the Clippers remained near the bottom of the Pacific Division standings. The team was plagued by injuries and a lack of depth, contributing to their struggles.
In the 2000 NBA Draft, the Clippers hoped to build for the future by securing the third overall pick, which they used to select Darius Miles. This season highlighted the need for a long-term strategy to lift the franchise out of its perpetual rebuilding phase.
- Regular Season Record: 15-67
