Unbelievable NBA Anomaly: How Three Winning Teams Shockingly Failed to Make the Playoffs This Season
In 2025-26, Charlotte finished 44-38, Miami 43-39, and the Los Angeles Clippers 42-40 — but all three missed out on the playoffs after losing in the play-in tournament.
Despite all three teams this year posting winning records, none are close to the all-time highest winning percentage for a non-playoff team.
That honor goes to the 1971-72 Phoenix Suns, who finished 49-33 — a .598 clip — but missed out on the playoffs in a Western Conference led by the 69-win Los Angeles Lakers. The Suns have three of the best non-playoff records — in 1970-71 and 2013-14 the franchise posted identical 48-34 marks (Golden State also equaled that record in 2007-08).
