NBA professional basketball team season
The 2011–12 Washington Wizards season was the 51st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 39th in the Washington, D.C. area. The Wizards finished the lockout-shortened season with a 20–46 record and in 14th place in the Eastern Conference . It was the last season of Flip Saunders as Washington's head coach, who was fired after 17 games.[ 1] For the 2011–12 season, the Wizards unveiled a new logo and color scheme, bringing back the "hands" logo used during the 90s when they were still called the Washington Bullets. They also changed their DC logo including the "hands" logo.[ 2]

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.[ 6] The Chinese Basketball Association , however, only allows its clubs to sign foreign free agents who could play for at least the entire season.[ 7]
