NBA professional basketball team season
The 2000–01 Golden State Warriors 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. After holding a 15–33 record at the All-Star break, the Warriors lost 32 of their final 34 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, 8.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game, while Fortson averaged 16.7 points and 16.3 rebounds per game during his short six-game stint, and Hughes provided the team with 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game in 50 games. In addition, Jackson averaged 13.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in 48 games, and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, while Mills contributed 12.0 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in 15 games, Sura provided with 11.1 points and 4.6 assists per game in 53 games, and Mookie Blaylock contributed 11.0 points, 6.7 assists and 2.4 steals per game. Meanwhile, rookie small forward, and second-round draft pick Chris Porter averaged 8.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in 51 games, Dampier provided with 7.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in 43 games, second-year guard Vonteego Cummings contributed 7.3 points and 3.4 assists per game, and Adonal Foyle averaged 5.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game in 58 games.
During the NBA All-Star weekend at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C., Jackson was selected for the NBA Rookie Challenge Game, as a member of the Rookies team; he also finished in third place in Rookie of the Year voting. The Warriors finished 25th in the NBA in home-game attendance, with an attendance of 591,981 at The Arena in Oakland during the regular season, which was the fifth-lowest in the league.
Following the season, Mullin retired after his second stint with the Warriors, and Cummings was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.
