The 1994–95 NBA season was the Timberwolves' 6th season in the National Basketball Association. During the offseason, the Timberwolves acquired Sean Rooks from the Dallas Mavericks. Under new head coach Bill Blair, the Timberwolves continued to struggle losing 13 of their first 14 games, as Michael Williams missed all but one game of the season due to a left heel injury. Midway through the season, top draft pick Donyell Marshall was traded to the Golden State Warriors for Tom Gugliotta. Despite a stellar season from second-year star Isaiah Rider leading the team in scoring with 20.4 points per game, the Timberwolves lost nine of their final ten games. They finished last place in the Midwest Division with a 21–61 record, setting a dubious record in becoming the first team ever to lose 60 or more games in four consecutive seasons.
