. The Nuggets set numerous unwanted records during this season, which started off with the team losing their first twelve games under new head coach, former Nuggets player Bill Hanzlik. The Nuggets finished in last place in the Midwest Division with the league's worst record at 11–71, which was also the team's worst record in franchise history. Their eleven wins equaled the third-fewest in an 82-game NBA season along with the 1992–93 Dallas Mavericks, and just like the Mavericks were for a long time viewed as likely to beat the 1972–73 Philadelphia 76ers record of winning only nine games in a full season, and the 2015–16 76ers, who only won just ten games.

After 40 games and a dreadful 23-game losing streak, which was tied with the 1995–96 Vancouver Grizzlies, the Nuggets had a ''2–38'' record (winning percentage .050), a mark equalled only by the 1993–94 Mavericks. With the team holding a 4–42 record at the All-Star break, General Manager Allan Bristow was fired. The Nuggets later on lost sixteen consecutive games between February and March, before finally avoiding a possibility of the worst-ever NBA record against the Golden State Warriors on March 27, 1998. Newman played a sixth man role off the bench, leading the team in scoring with 14.7 points per game, while LaPhonso Ellis averaged 14.3 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, and Jackson provided the team with 11.6 points, 4.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and was named to the

In his 2007 study ''The NBA from Top to Bottom'', basketball enthusiast Kyle Wright argued that in fact the 1997–98 Nuggets were a worse team than the 1972–73 76ers, saying that they played a worse schedule in the Midwest Division than the 1972–73 76ers did in their Atlantic Division where a dominant Boston Celtics team was played seven times by the 76ers.Wright, Kyle; ''The NBA from Top to Bottom: A History of the NBA from the No. 1 Team to the No. 1,153''; pp. 80-87. In contrast, Wright says, "the Nuggets got to play the 62–20 Utah Jazz only four times".
