The 1994–95 NBA season was the Bullets' 34th season in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the offseason, the Bullets acquired Scott Skiles from the Orlando Magic and hired Jim Lynam as head coach. After drafting Juwan Howard with the fifth pick in the 1994 NBA draft, the Bullets traded Tom Gugliotta to the Golden State Warriors for Howard's former "Fab Five" teammate at Michigan Chris Webber.[2] However, after a 4–1 start to the season, the Bullets struggled as they lost 25 of their next 28 games. At midseason, things got worse as Kevin Duckworth was suspended indefinitely after 40 games for not staying in physical condition, where he weighed over 310lbs.[3] The Bullets posted a 13-game losing streak near the end of the season, and finished last place in the Atlantic Division with a 21–61 record. Webber averaged 20.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.

Following the season, Rex Chapman was traded to the Miami Heat, Duckworth was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, Skiles signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia 76ers, Don MacLean and Doug Overton were both dealt to the Denver Nuggets, and Larry Stewart left in the 1995 NBA Expansion Draft.
