“Which NBA Teams Have Suffered the Most Heartbreaking Playoff Droughts?”
2. Atlanta Hawks: 67 (1957-58)
The Hawks won the NBA Finals as the St. Louis Hawks in 1958.
3. Phoenix Suns: 56 (Never)
The Suns were so close in 2020-21. They reached their third NBA Finals in franchise history, and held a 2-0 series lead before losing four straight to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Suns also lost the NBA Finals in six games in 1976 to the Boston Celtics and in 1992 to the Chicago Bulls.
- 4. Los Angeles Clippers: 54 (Never)*
- 5. New York Knicks: 51 (1972-73)*
Longest Postseason Droughts – All Time
1. Los Angeles Clippers: 15 (1976-77 to 1990-91)
Before the Lob City era, which began in 2011-12 with the arrival of Chris Paul, the Clippers were the poster child for poorly run sports franchises.
