The 2001–02 NBA season was the Jazz's 28th season in the National Basketball Association, and 23rd season in Salt Lake City, Utah.[1] During the offseason, the Jazz signed free agent John Amaechi. John Stockton continued to set new standards with 15,000 career assists and 3,000 career steals, as Karl Malone scored his 34,000th career point. However, the Jazz began to show their age as they played mediocre basketball all season finishing fourth in the Midwest Division with a 44–38 record. The Jazz also beat the Los Angeles Lakers' record of sixteen consecutive winning seasons,[2] set between 1976–77 and 1991–92. Malone was selected for the 2002 NBA All-Star Game, but did not play due to an injury. Rookie Andre Kirilenko was selected to the All-Rookie First Team. In the first round of the playoffs, they lost in four games to the Sacramento Kings.

Following the season, Bryon Russell signed as a free agent with the Washington Wizards, Donyell Marshall signed with the Chicago Bulls and John Starks retired.
