Last season saw marked improvements, from finishing outside of the play-in picture in 2020-21 to a 46-36 record and the franchise’s first playoff berth since 2017. A newly-minted core of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Nikola Vučević, Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso propelled the team to owning a share of first in the Eastern Conference as late as the All-Star break.
But injuries and regression eventually hit and they slid to sixth come the end of the regular season. That postseason berth proved more of a crumbling than a coronation, as the Milwaukee Bucks dispatched their cross-interstate rivals in a five-game first-round rout.
