Washington Wizards 2001-02 Roster and Stats

The 2001-02 Washington Wizards season was notable for the return of Michael Jordan, who came out of retirement to join the team as both a player and part-owner. Under the guidance of head coach Doug Collins, the Wizards finished the season with a 37-45 record, missing the playoffs. Despite not qualifying for the postseason, the team showed significant improvement from their previous 19-63 record.

Jordan, at age 38, played in 60 games, averaging 22.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game before a knee injury cut his season short. The team also featured promising young players like Rip Hamilton, who averaged 20 points per game, and Kwame Brown, the first overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft. Although the Wizards did not achieve playoff success, the season marked a turning point in franchise visibility and competitiveness.
