The 1999–2000 New Jersey Nets season was the Nets' 33rd season in the National Basketball Association, and 24th season in East Rutherford, New Jersey. During the offseason, the Nets re-acquired Johnny Newman from the Los Angeles Clippers, and re-signed free agent Sherman Douglas. The Nets struggled losing 15 of their first 17 games, but would eventually get hot and find themselves in the playoff picture. However, a rash of late season injures cost the team to lose their final eleven games finishing sixth in the Atlantic Division with a 31–51 record. During the 1999–2000 season, several Nets reached different milestones. Stephon Marbury dished out his 2,000th assist and Kendall Gill scored his 10,000th career point. Marbury led the team in scoring (22.2 ppg) and Gill led the team in total steals (139), ranking him ninth in the league. Following the season, head coach Don Casey was fired, Scott Burrell was released and Jayson Williams, who missed the entire season with a leg injury and retired.
