The 1994-95 NBA season was the Timberwolves' 6th season in the NBA.[1] During the offseason, the Timberwolves acquired Sean Rooks from the Dallas Mavericks. The Timberwolves continued to struggle as Michael Williams missed all but one game of the season due to injuries. Midway through the season, top draft pick Donyell Marshall was traded to the Golden State Warriors for Tom Gugliotta. Despite a stellar season from Isaiah Rider averaging 20.4 points per game, the Timberwolves finished last place in the Midwest Division with a 21–61 record, setting a dubious record in becoming the first team to ever lose 60 or more games in four consecutive seasons.
