The 1994–95 NBA season was the Clippers' 25th season in the National Basketball Association, and their first season in Anaheim. During the offseason, the Clippers acquired Pooh Richardson and Malik Sealy from the Indiana Pacers, and signed free agent Tony Massenburg. The Clippers started the season playing their first two games against the Portland Trail Blazers in Yokohama, Japan. However, under new head coach Bill Fitch, they struggled as they sank before leaving harbor losing their first 16 games of the season, on their way finishing last place in the Pacific Division with the league's worst record of 17–65. Showing improvement was Loy Vaught, who led the team with 17.5 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.
