The 2000–01 NBA season was the Warriors' 55th season in the National Basketball Association, and 39th in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1] During the off-season, the Warriors re-signed free agent and former All-Star forward Chris Mullin,[2] while acquiring Danny Fortson from the Boston Celtics,[3][4] and Bob Sura from the Cleveland Cavaliers.[5] However, Fortson only played just six games due to a foot injury.[6] Under new head coach Dave Cowens, the Warriors won their season opener defeating the Phoenix Suns 96–94 on October 31, but their struggles continued as they went on a 7-game losing streak afterwards. Mullin, Sura, Larry Hughes, Chris Mills, Erick Dampier, Adonal Foyle and rookie center Marc Jackson all missed large parts of the season due to injuries. With a 14–28 record in late January, the Warriors lost 37 of their final 40 games, including a 13-game losing streak to end their season finishing last place in the Pacific Division with an awful 17–65 record.[7]
Antawn Jamison had a stellar season averaging 24.9 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, while Jackson averaged 13.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, was selected to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, and finished in third place in Rookie of the Year voting.[8][9][10] Following the season, Mullin retired after his second stint with the Warriors, and second-year guard Vonteego Cummings was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.[11]
