2023–24 Philadelphia 76ers season
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2023–24 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 75th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[ 1] On May 16, 2023, the 76ers fired head coach Doc Rivers after three seasons with the team.[ 2] On June 1, 2023, the 76ers hired Nick Nurse as their head coach.[ 3]
Despite starting the season with a 29–13 record and within a half game of the 2nd seed of the Eastern Conference, Joel Embiid tore his lateral meniscus in a game against the Warriors on January 30, after already missing a few games due to an unrelated injury. The 76ers struggled during his absence, going 11–22 in that span and dropping to the 8th seed; Embiid returned on April 2 in a 109–105 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder . Despite winning their final 8 games, the 76ers were unable to climb higher than the 7th seed, but clinched a playoff spot with a win over the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament on April 17. However, they were eliminated in the first round by the New York Knicks , 4–2, marking the first time the 76ers failed to make it into the second round since they got swept by the Celtics in the 2020 NBA playoffs .
The Philadelphia 76ers drew an average home attendance of 20,041 in 41 home games in the 2023-24 NBA season, the 3rd highest in the league.[ 4]
Draft
The 76ers entered this draft with no draft pick.[ 5] They initially had a second-round pick, but it was forfeited alongside their 2024 second-round pick due to tampering violations with respect to free agency.[ 6]
