, Adelaide were sitting third on the NBL ladder and were looking good for a return to the playoffs. That was as good as it got for the 36ers though, following the 69-65 win over the Wildcats in Perth, Adelaide went on to a club record equaling eight-game losing streak from which they would never recover. The 36ers 5-3 start had come to a grinding halt and they went 3-17 over the final two-thirds of the season. Import player C. J. Massingale was cut from the team on 5 December, while young gun

on 13 January. Adelaide won the game against the Kings 84-62 at the Adelaide Arena, snapping their eight-game losing streak. Bright spots for the 36ers were 6'11" power forward/centre Daniel Johnson who won two "NBL Player of the Week" awards (the only 36er to win one during the season) and was selected to the All-NBL Second Team, improving on his 2011–12 selection to the All-NBL Third Team.

with 11.6 ppg). His points average was also the 5th best in the NBL and he also led the league in rebounding with 8.1 per game. Johnson was also selected as the starting centre for the South All-Stars in the NBL All-Star Game played in Adelaide on 22 December. Hard working forward Anthony Petrie was nominated for NBL's Best Sixth Man award. Petrie generally started from the bench for the 36ers until Schenscher's injury thrust him into a starting role and he responded by averaging over 18 ppg as a starter. Petrie was an original bench selection for the NBL All-Star Game but withdrew with a back injury. Local guard Tom Daly was elevated from being a Development Player to having a spot on the roster after Creek was injured and was rewarded for his good performances with nomination for the NBL's Rookie of the Year award. The 36ers finished the season in 8th and last place on the NBL ladder, their second wooden spoon in a row and the club's third in four seasons.
