The 1999-00 Atlanta Hawks season was a challenging period for the franchise. Under head coach Lenny Wilkens, the team finished with a disappointing 28-54 record, placing them in the sixth position in the Central Division and causing them to miss the playoffs for the second consecutive year. The season was marked by the midseason trade of star center Dikembe Mutombo to the Philadelphia 76ers, which signaled a shift towards rebuilding.
Promising performances came from guard Jason Terry, who was selected as the 10th overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft and showed potential in his rookie season. However, the Hawks struggled with consistency and cohesion throughout the year, as frequent lineup changes and injuries hampered their progress. The team’s performance highlighted the need for a strategic overhaul to return to competitive form in future seasons.
- Regular Season Record: 28-54
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
