The 1995-96 NBA season was the Bucks' 28th season in the NBA. The Bucks signed former All-Star Terry Cummings, who used to play with them in the 1980's. The Bucks, led by developing superstars Vin Baker and Glenn Robinson were considered a team with playoff potential. However, the struggles continued as they missed the playoffs for the fifth straight season, finishing seventh in the Central Division with a 25-57 record. Following the season, the Bucks fired head coach Mike Dunleavy and replaced him with Chris Ford.
