The 2000–01 NBA season was the Clippers' 31st season in the National Basketball Association, and their 17th season in Los Angeles.[1] During the offseason, the Clippers acquired second-year guard Corey Maggette and rookie Keyon Dooling from the Orlando Magic, while acquiring Sean Rooks from the Dallas Mavericks. With the addition of Maggette and Dooling, along with other rookies Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson, the Clippers were a young team. However, center Keith Closs was suspended for the entire season due to lack of physical conditioning. Under new head coach Alvin Gentry, the Clippers would struggle losing 7 of their first eleven games as Tyrone Nesby was traded to the Washington Wizards. However, they would play around .500 in the final three months of the season, as they doubled their previous season's win total finishing sixth in the Pacific Division with a 31–51 record. Second-year star Lamar Odom had a strong second season leading the team in scoring and rebounding.
For the season, the Clippers changed their uniforms which lasted until 2010.
