# 2012–13 Philadelphia 76ers season

The 2012–13 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 74th season of the franchise, 64th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 50th in Philadelphia. Before the start of the season the team constructed a major multiple-team trade to get All-Star center Andrew Bynum from the Los Angeles Lakers (giving up eventual 2015 NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala). However, Bynum missed the entire regular season due to a foot injury sustained while bowling, and would never end up playing in a Sixers uniform. They finished with a record of 34–48 and would miss the postseason in Doug Collins' third and final season as head coach.
