The 1998–99 NBA season was the Bucks' 31st season in the National Basketball Association.^[1] After a lockout cut the season to 50 games, the Bucks hired George Karl, who previously coached the Seattle SuperSonics as their new head coach. The team selected German basketball star Dirk Nowitzki with the ninth pick in the 1998 NBA draft, but soon traded him to the Dallas Mavericks for top draft pick Robert Traylor,^[2] and signed free agents Dell Curry and Vinny Del Negro. The Bucks transition continued at midseason trading Terrell Brandon to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and acquiring Sam Cassell and Chris Gatling from the New Jersey Nets in exchange for Elliot Perry in a three-team trade.^[3] However, Cassell only played just four games with the team due to an ankle injury. In another trade, they dealt Tyrone Hill to the Philadelphia 76ers for second-year forward Tim Thomas and Scott Williams,^[4] while signing free agent Haywoode Workman.

Under Karl, the Bucks won five of their first six games, and played above .500 for the entire season as they finally entered the playoffs after a seven-year playoff drought, finishing fourth in the Central Division with a 28–22 record.^[5] Glenn Robinson led the team in scoring with 18.4 points per game, while Ray Allen averaged 17.1 points per game.^[6] However, in the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Bucks would be swept by the Indiana Pacers in three straight games.^[7] Following the season, Curry signed as a free agent with the Toronto Raptors, Gatling was traded along with Armen Gilliam to the Orlando Magic, and Michael Curry re-signed with the Detroit Pistons.
