Biggest playoff series victory drought

  1. Charlotte (2002)
  2. Sacramento (2002)
  3. Minnesota (2004)
  4. Detroit (2008)
  5. Orlando (2010)

Charlotte disbanded and regained a team but last had a playoff series victory in 2002 with a team led by Baron Davis. They reached the postseason two times with Kemba but lost in the first round.

Kings last won a series in 2002 with a team led by Chris Webber. They reached last year for the first time in a long time on a team led by DeAaron Fox but lost in the first round.

Wolves last won a series in 2004 with a team led by Kevin Garnett. They reached the postseason three times since but lost in the first round.

Detroit last won a series in 2008 with a team led by Rip Hamilton. They reached the postseason two times since, on teams led by Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson, but lost in the first round.

Orlando last won a series in 2010 with a team led by Dwight Howard. They reached the postseason recently on two occasions on teams led by Vucevic but lost in the first round.

The Magic, Kings, Pistons and Wolves all reached the Conference Finals in the year before their long droughts began.

Didn’t Chicago give Orlando the rights to a few of their titles for Vucevic?

I'm willing to bet Charlotte won't win one in the next decade either
