The 2000-01 Los Angeles Clippers season was marked by youthful promise but ultimately fell short of playoff success. The team finished with a 31-51 record, placing 6th in the Pacific Division. Despite the losing record, the season was noteworthy for showcasing emerging talents like Lamar Odom, Elton Brand, and rookie Darius Miles. Brand, acquired from the Chicago Bulls, brought immediate impact, averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds per game.
The Clippers played their home games at the Staples Center, sharing the venue with their more successful city rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers. Under head coach Alvin Gentry, the Clippers showed flashes of potential, but inconsistency and a lack of veteran leadership hampered their progress. The season did, however, lay the groundwork for future development, as the young core gained valuable experience and set the stage for eventual improvement in the early 2000s.
- Regular Season Record: 31-51
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
