Tyrone Hill was the team's leading rebounder with 10.9 rebounds per game, and was selected for the 1995 NBA All-Star Game. Second-year forward Chris Mills stepped into the lineup at small forward, providing the team with 12.3 points per game. However, without Brandon, who suffered a leg injury during the final month of the regular season, the Cavaliers would lose to the New York Knicks 3–1 in the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs. Following the season, Price was traded to the Washington Bullets, Hot Rod Williams was dealt to the Phoenix Suns, Wilkins left in the 1995 NBA Expansion Draft, Campbell was released to free agency, and John Battle retired.
