The 1994–95 NBA season was the Nets' 19th season in the NBA.^[1] With new head coach Butch Beard, the Nets fell apart as their top players missed a large amount of games due to injuries. Derrick Coleman missed 26 games, Kenny Anderson was out for 10 games, Kevin Edwards only played in just 14 games, and first round draft pick Yinka Dare missed all but one game. Both Coleman and Anderson had a public feud with their new coach as the Nets missed the playoffs with a woeful 30–52 record, fifth in the Atlantic Division. Following the season, Chris Morris signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Utah Jazz, Benoit Benjamin left in the 1995 NBA Expansion Draft and Sleepy Floyd retired.
