The 2001–02 NBA season was the Jazz's 28th season in the National Basketball Association, and 23rd season in Salt Lake City, Utah.[1] During the off-season, the Jazz signed free agent John Amaechi.[2] John Stockton continued to set new standards with 15,000 career assists and 3,000 career steals, as Karl Malone scored his 34,000th career point. However, the Jazz began to show their age as they struggled losing four of their first five games, leading to a 6–11 start to the season. They played above .500 for the remainder of the season finishing fourth in the Midwest Division, and eighth in the Western Conference with a 44–38 record.[3] The Jazz also beat the Los Angeles Lakers' record of sixteen consecutive winning seasons above .500,[4] set between 1976–77 and 1991–92.season.[5]

Malone averaged 22.4 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, and was selected for the 2002 NBA All-Star Game,[6] but did not play due to visiting his sick mother back home in Louisiana.[7] In addition, Donyell Marshall averaged 14.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, while Stockton provided the team with 13.4 points, 8.2 assists and 1.9 steals per game, Bryon Russell contributed 9.6 points per game, and rookie forward Andre Kirilenko from Russia averaged 10.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, and was selected to the NBA All-Rookie First Team.[8] In the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Jazz lost in four games to the Sacramento Kings.[9]

Following the season, Russell signed as a free agent with the Washington Wizards after nine seasons in Utah,[10] while Marshall signed with the Chicago Bulls,[11] and John Starks and John Crotty both retired.
