The 2001–02 NBA season was the 32nd season of the National Basketball Association in Cleveland, Ohio. During the offseason, the Cavaliers re-acquired Tyrone Hill from the Philadelphia 76ers while acquiring Ricky Davis from the Miami Heat. Under new head coach John Lucas, the Cavaliers got off to a horrible start losing nine of their first eleven games, then suffered a 12-game losing streak in January. Hill only played just 26 games due to injury as the Cavs lost 50 games for the third straight season, finishing 7th in the Central Division with a 29–53 record. Lamond Murray was the team's leading scorer, and Andre Miller averaged a double-double in points and assists per contest. Following the season, Murray was traded to the Toronto Raptors, Miller was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, and Wesley Person was dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies.

Key Dates:

*1st round pick acquired from Miami in Shawn Kemp three-way deal with Portland. Haywood traded to Orlando in Michael Doleac deal.
