1995–96 Los Angeles Clippers season

The 1995–96 NBA season was the Clippers' 26th season in the National Basketball Association, and their 2nd second in Anaheim.[1] The Clippers selected Antonio McDyess with the second pick in the 1995 NBA draft, but soon traded him to the Denver Nuggets for Brian Williams, Rodney Rogers and rookie Brent Barry. With the continued development of Loy Vaught, the Clippers showed some improvement with a 7–5 start to the season, but then suffered a nine-game losing streak afterwards. The team would again lose nine straight games between January and February as they played without Williams, Rogers, Pooh Richardson, Malik Sealy and Stanley Roberts for long stretches during the season due to injuries. The Clippers finished last place in the Pacific Division again with a 29–53 record.
