The 2011–12 Charlotte Bobcats season was the 8th season of the Charlotte Bobcats in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 22nd overall season of NBA basketball in Charlotte. Considered to be the worst team of all time, the Bobcats failed to improve on their 34–48 record from the previous season and set the record for worst winning percentage in a season with a .106 winning percentage, surpassing the 1972–73 Philadelphia 76ers (.110) for the lowest winning percentage in NBA history. They were eliminated from playoff contention on March 28, 2012, after an 83–88 home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, with a record of 7–41. The Bobcats clinched the worst record in NBA history, in a shortened season or otherwise, by losing 104–84 to the New York Knicks on April 26, 2012.
Guard-forward Gerald Henderson led the team in scoring, with an average of 15.1 points per game. Forward-center Bismack Biyombo led in rebounds per game (5.8), and point guard D. J. Augustin recorded a team-high 6.4 assists per game. During the last minutes of their final season game, owner Michael Jordan (who was not in the stands) was shown on the jumbotron and was greeted with a swarm of boos from the home crowd.

Pre-season[]
Due to the 2011 NBA lockout negotiations, the programmed pre-season schedule, along with the first two weeks of the regular season were scrapped, and a two-game pre-season was set for each team once the lockout concluded.

Many players signed with teams from other leagues due to the 2011 NBA lockout. FIBA allows players under NBA contracts to sign and play for teams from other leagues if the contracts have opt-out clauses that allow the players to return to the NBA if the lockout ends.[1] The Chinese Basketball Association, however, only allows its clubs to sign foreign free agents who could play for at least the entire season.[2]
