The 1999–2000 NBA season was the 32nd season for the Milwaukee Bucks in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the off-season, the team acquired Danny Manning and re-acquired Dale Ellis from the Orlando Magic,[2][3][4] and signed free agents Darvin Ham and J.R. Reid.[5][6][7]

Quick facts Milwaukee Bucks season, Head coach ...

After missing most of the previous season with an ankle injury, Sam Cassell played a full season as the Bucks won their first three games of the regular season, and played above .500 basketball in the first half of the season, holding a 26–24 record at the All-Star break.[8] However, the team struggled in February posting a 3–9 record, as Ellis was traded to the Charlotte Hornets,[9][10][11] and Haywoode Workman was released to free agency, and signed with the Toronto Raptors.[12] With less than a month to go, the Bucks playoff chances appeared bleak as they had a 32–37 record in late March.[13] However, down the stretch, they won 10 of their final 13 games of the season, finishing in fifth place in the Central Division with a 42–40 record, and earning the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.[14][15]

Ray Allen averaged 22.1 points and 1.3 steals per game, and led the Bucks with 172 three-point field goals, while Glenn Robinson averaged 20.9 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, and Cassell provided the team with 18.2 points, 9.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game. In addition, Tim Thomas played a sixth man role, averaging 11.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game off the bench, while Scott Williams contributed 7.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and Ervin Johnson provided with 4.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.[16] Allen and Robinson were both selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game in Oakland, California, which was the first All-Star appearance for both players.[17][18][19]

However, in the Eastern Conference First Round of the 2000 NBA playoffs, the Bucks would lose in five games to the top-seeded Indiana Pacers, losing Game 5 by just one point, 96–95 at the Conseco Fieldhouse.[20][21][22] The Pacers would lose in six games to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2000 NBA Finals.[23][24][25]

Following the season, Manning signed as a free agent with the Utah Jazz,[26][27][28] while in a three-team trade, Vinny Del Negro was traded to the Golden State Warriors, and Reid and second-year forward Robert Traylor were both dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers.[29][30][31]
