History

Historical Context

In 1995-96 the Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, posted a 72-10 regular-season record, the first team to win 70 games and a championship. That depth model, developed during the Bulls’ record season, guides injury handling today, as seen in 2026 when the Philadelphia 76ers opened 3-0 with Joel Embiid’s 28-point triple-double while LeBron James missed a game with lower-back pain.
