The 1994–95 NBA season was the Warriors’ 49th season in the National Basketball Association, and 33rd in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1] During the offseason, the Warriors acquired Ricky Pierce from the Seattle SuperSonics. Tim Hardaway returned after missing all of last season with a knee injury. After having finished 50–32 the previous season, the Warriors made a number of deals to toughen the team in the middle by trading Billy Owens to the Miami Heat for Rony Seikaly.[2] Before the season even started, second-year star Chris Webber began the season by exercising his option to become a restricted free agent, claiming irreconcilable differences with head coach Don Nelson. He asked to be traded, and the Warriors obliged, sending him to the Washington Bullets for Tom Gugliotta, who would later on be traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for rookie Donyell Marshall midway through the season.[3]

The Warriors won their first five games of the season, winning 8 of their 13 games in November. However, they struggled losing ten straight games afterwards as Pierce, Seikaly and Chris Mullin all missed large parts of the season due to injuries. All of this led to the resignation of Nelson after a 14–31 start.[4] Under replacement Bob Lanier, the team finished sixth in the Pacific Division with a 26–56 record. Latrell Sprewell was selected for the 1995 NBA All-Star Game. Following the season, Pierce signed as a free agent with the Indiana Pacers, and Lanier was fired as coach.
