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. The Bobcats set the record for worst winning percentage in a season with a .106 winning percentage, surpassing the 1972–73 Philadelphia 76ers (.110) for worst winning percentage. They were eliminated from playoff contention on March 28, 2012, after an 88–83 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, with a record of 7–41. The Bobcats clinched the worst record in the NBA for the season by losing 75–67 to the New Orleans Hornets on April 16, 2012, in a shortened season or otherwise.

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.

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]
