The 1994-95 NBA season was the Bullets' 34th season in the NBA. During the offseason, the Bullets acquired Scott Skiles from the Orlando Magic. After drafting Juwan Howard in the first round of the 1994 NBA draft, the Bullets traded Tom Gugliotta to the Golden State Warriors for Howard's former "Fab Five" teammate at Michigan Chris Webber. After a 4–1 start to the season, the Bullets struggled as they lost 25 of their next 28 games. Despite suffering through injuries, Webber averaged 20.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. However, midway through the season, Kevin Duckworth was suspended indefinitely for not staying in physical condition, where he weighed over 310lbs. The Bullets posted a 13-game losing streak near the end of the season, and finished last place in the Atlantic Division with a 21–61 record.
Following the season, Rex Chapman was traded to the Miami Heat, Duckworth was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, Skiles signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia 76ers, and Don MacLean was dealt to the Denver Nuggets.
