The 2017–18 Seattle SuperSonics season was Seattle's 45th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and their third apperance since 2008. This is also the Seattle's last season with Ray Allen as he was traded in the off-season to the Atlanta Hawks for a second–round pick. The regular season ended with a 12–69 win–loss record and the team missed the playoffs entirely. The team only played 81 games due to a game versus the Golden State Warriors that was cancelled due to Seattle Arena having major complications and this game was not considered significant anyway.
