The 1954–55 NBA season was the Bullets' 8th season in the NBA and eleventh and final overall season of existence.[1] The franchise ceased operations after playing 14 total games with a 3–11 record on November 27, 1954. The NBA's official record books for the 1954–55 season do not include the Bullets' games and team statistics, nor do they include the statistics of the opposing players and teams in games played against the Bullets.[2]

Baltimore would go without an NBA team until 1963, when the Chicago Zephyrs moved to Baltimore and became the second incarnation of the Baltimore Bullets. The new team, however, would not claim the old Bullets' history as a part of their own team history following the move from Chicago to Baltimore.
