2000–01 Golden State Warriors season

The 2000–01 NBA season was the 55th season for the Golden State Warriors in the National Basketball Association, and their 39th season in the San Francisco Bay Area. During the off-season, the Warriors re-signed free agent and former Warriors All-Star forward Chris Mullin, while acquiring Danny Fortson from the Boston Celtics, and Bob Sura from the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, Fortson only played just six games due to a foot injury.

Under new head coach Dave Cowens, the Warriors won their season opener by defeating the Phoenix Suns, 96–94 on October 31, 2000, but their struggles continued as they posted 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 regular 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 in last place in the Pacific Division with a dismal 17–65 record, and missing the NBA playoffs for the seventh consecutive year.

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 named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, and finished in third place in Rookie of the Year voting.

Following the season, Mullin retired after his second stint with the Warriors, and second-year guard Vonteego Cummings was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.
