Which Team Has The Longest Losing Streak In NBA History?

Six weeks into the 2023-24 NBA season, it is becoming clear who the bottom feeders in the league will be this year. The Wizards and Grizzlies have been particularly poor through their team’s first 20 games, with just nine total wins between the two. But there are two other teams out there that have been even worse, and they are both riding losing streaks that are starting to run into historical territory.

The Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs were two of the teams picking at the top of the 2023 NBA Draft due to their last-place standings last season, but neither has done much to change their fortunes so far this year.

The Pistons were 2-1 at one point, with their only loss being a 1-point defeat on opening night against the reigning Eastern Conference champions, but the wheels have completely fallen off since. Detroit hasn’t won a game since October 28th, going the entire month of November without a victory. With their loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday, their losing streak has been pushed to 18 games, and there doesn’t seem to be much hope on the horizon in terms of the schedule.

The Spurs have a similar story. They were 3-2 through the first five games and won their first game in November, but have lost every one since, and they now have their streak up to 15.
