Arena Brendan Byrne Arena Playoff finish DNQ | Record 30–52 (.366) | |
The 1994–95 NBA season was the Nets' 28th season in the National Basketball Association, and 19th season in East Rutherford, New Jersey. During the offseason, the Nets re-signed free agent Sleepy Floyd. With new head coach Butch Beard, the Nets fell apart like a cheap suit as players like Derrick Coleman, Kenny Anderson and Kevin Edwards were all out for long stretches due to injuries, while first round draft pick Yinka Dare missed all but one game. Both Coleman and Anderson had a public feud with their new coach, as the Nets lost 15 of their final 19 games and missed the playoffs, finishing fifth in the Atlantic Division with a woeful 30–52 record. Following the season, Chris Morris signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Utah Jazz, Benoit Benjamin left in the 1995 NBA Expansion Draft and Floyd retired.
