The 2011–12 New Orleans Hornets season was the 10th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Contents
During the lockout, the Hornets were dealt with a cruel blow, trading Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers. In their first season without their star playmaker, the Hornets finished the season with a mediocre 21–45 record. This led the team to drafting Anthony Davis from Kentucky with the first overall pick of the 2012 NBA draft.
Key dates
Pre-season
Due to the 2011 NBA lockout negotiations, the programmed pre-season schedule, along with the first two weeks of the regular season were scrapped, and a two-game pre-season was set for each team once the lockout concluded.
