2002–03 New Jersey Nets season

January 29, 2023

The 2002–03 New Jersey Nets season was the Nets' 36th season in the National Basketball Association, and 27th season in East Rutherford, New Jersey.[1] The Nets entered the season as runners-up in the 2002 NBA Finals, where they were swept by the two-time defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers in four games. During the off-season, the Nets acquired All-Star center Dikembe Mutombo from the Philadelphia 76ers,[2][3][4] and signed free agent Rodney Rogers.[5][6][7] However, Mutombo only played just 24 games due to a wrist injury.[8][9][10] The Nets got off a solid start with a 26–9 record, while posting a ten-game winning streak between December and January, and holding a 34–15 record at the All-Star break.[11] However, the team played below .500 for the remainder of the season, but finished in first place in the Atlantic Division with a 49–33 record, while posting a successful 33–8 home record.[12]

In the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Nets defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in six games,[16][17][18] then swept the 6th-seeded Boston Celtics in four straight games in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals,[19][20][21] and then defeated the top-seeded Detroit Pistons in another four-game sweep in the Eastern Conference Finals.[22][23][24] For the second consecutive year, they made it to the NBA Finals. However, they lost to the San Antonio Spurs in a six-game series.[25][26][27] Following the season, Mutombo was released to free agency, and signed as a free agent with the New York Knicks.[28][29][30]

Offseason

On August 1, the Nets re-signed Chris Childs as a free agent; Childs previously played for the Nets from 1994 to 1996. Five days later, the organization traded Todd MacCulloch and Keith Van Horn to the Philadelphia 76ers for Dikembe Mutombo. On August 14, the Nets signed Rodney Rogers as a free agent. On October 25, they signed Anthony Johnson as a free agent. Their final offseason transaction would come three days later, when they waived Donny Marshall.
