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. 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. 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.
