Uncover the NBA Teams Trapped in Agonizing Playoff Freezes That Shattered Records
2. Washington Wizards: 5 Seasons (2020-21)
The Wizards have been in a dreadful period – they didn’t even have a winning record (going 34-38) when they last appeared in the postseason. They got there through the NBA Play-In Tournament, then fell in five games in a first-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Extending outward, they’ve gone eight straight seasons below .500 and nine without a playoff series win.

T-1. Sacramento Kings: 22 Seasons (Last Series Win 2003-04)
The Kings last won a postseason series in 2003-04, defeating the Dallas Mavericks 4-1 in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. In the semifinals, they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in seven games. Sacramento reached the playoffs in each of the next two seasons, but lost in the first round both times. They came close against the defending champion Golden State Warriors in 2023, but lost Game 7 of their first-round series on their own floor.
