2000–01 Miami Heat season

The 2000–01 NBA season was the 13th season for the Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association.[1] Before the start of the season, All-Star center Alonzo Mourning suffered a kidney disorder and only played in the final thirteen games of the season.[2] During the offseason, the Heat acquired All-Star guard Eddie Jones, Anthony Mason and Ricky Davis from the Charlotte Hornets, acquired Brian Grant from the Portland Trail Blazers in a three-team trade, and signed free agent A.C. Green. However, the Heat struggled with a 5–9 start to the season. At midseason, they acquired Cedric Ceballos in a trade with the Detroit Pistons, as Mason was selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game. The Heat finished second in the Atlantic Division with a 50–32 record. However, in the first round of the playoffs, they were swept by the 6th-seeded Charlotte Hornets in three straight games.[3]
