The Worst Overall Record
The worst overall record in the NBA belongs to the Philadelphia 76ers, who finished the 1972-73 season with a 9-73 (.110) record. The Sixers’ 9-73 mark is the worst ever by an NBA team over an 82-game season. It’s also the worst winning percentage ever by an NBA team.
The Worst Record in a Single Season
The worst record in a single season is held by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who went 9-73. That works out to a winning percentage of just .110. The team was coached by Roy Rubin, and the roster included such notables as Doug Collins, George McGinnis, and Billy Cunningham.
The Worst Record in NBA History
The worst record in NBA history is held by the 1972-73 Philadelphia
76ers, who went 9-73. The team’s .110 winning percentage is the lowest
ever for an NBA team. The Sixers’ record is unlikely to ever be broken,
as the NBA has since implemented a number of measures to prevent teams
from tanking.
The Worst Record Since the NBA-ABA Merger
The Bullets/Wizards franchise has the worst record since the NBA-ABA merger in 1976. They have a record of just 495-1613 since then, a win percentage of just .234. The franchise has only had one winning season since 1988, and have only made the playoffs three times in that span.
