The 2023–24 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 75th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). On May 16, 2023, the 76ers fired head coach Doc Rivers after three seasons with the team. On June 1, 2023, the 76ers hired Nick Nurse as their head coach.
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.
Draft
The 76ers entered this draft with no draft pick. 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. Their first-round pick, originally given to the Brooklyn Nets as an option alongside their 2022 pick in the James Harden trade, was conveyed to the Utah Jazz after Brooklyn chose to defer the asset to 2023, fulfilling a condition to deliver the least favorable selection when Philadelphia finished with a better 2022–23 regular season record than Brooklyn and the Houston Rockets.
