2010–11 Cleveland Cavaliers season

The 2010–11 Cleveland Cavaliers season was the 41st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). They finished the regular season with 19 wins and 63 losses, the team's worst record since 2002–03. This was also their first season without LeBron James, who was not on the roster as he left the team in the offseason to join the Miami Heat.

The offseason included James becoming a free agent and signing with the Heat alongside Zydrunas Ilgauskas. The Cavaliers also missed the playoffs for the first time since James' sophomore season in 2005, as well as posting a then-record 26 game losing streak spanning from December 20, 2010, to February 11, 2011, beginning the losing streak with a 90–101 loss to the Utah Jazz, but finally ending their losing streak with a 126–119 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
