The 1995–96 New Jersey Nets season was the franchise's 20th season in the NBA.[1] The Nets began their season losing their season opener to the expansion Toronto Raptors at 94–79. Along the way, Derrick Coleman, who was on the injured list was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers for Shawn Bradley before December, and Kenny Anderson was dealt to the Charlotte Hornets for Kendall Gill in January. Without Coleman and Anderson, the Nets started to play better down the stretch, but would lose 10 of their final 12 games to finish sixth in the Atlantic Division with a 30–52 record. Following the season, Armen Gilliam signed as a free agent with the Milwaukee Bucks, P.J. Brown signed with the Miami Heat, and Chris Childs signed with the New York Knicks.
