1994–95 New Jersey Nets season

The 1994–95 New Jersey Nets season was the Nets' 28th season in the National Basketball Association, and 19th season in East Rutherford, New Jersey.[1] 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 Derrick Coleman missed 26 games with assorted aches and pains, Kevin Edwards played just 14 games before sitting out the remainder of the season with a partly torn Achilles' tendon, and first round draft pick Yinka Dare missed all but one game due to knee injuries.[2] Both Coleman and Kenny 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.
