The 2023–24 Portland Trail Blazers season was the 54th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This became the first season in franchise history where Portland would have an NBA G League team of their own to be affiliated with by the Rip City Remix, thus leaving every NBA team outside of the Phoenix Suns with an official affiliate or partnership involved with a G League development team. This is also the first season since 2011–12 without Damian Lillard on the roster, as he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, and a 2029 first-round draft pick. Four days later, Holiday was traded to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Robert Williams III, Malcolm Brogdon, and two future first-round draft picks.
The Blazers became the fourteenth team in NBA history to record a winless month, going 0–9 in February. On March 16, 2024, they were eliminated from playoff contention for the third straight season with their 126–107 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Portland Trail Blazers drew an average home attendance of 18,326 in 41 home games in the 2023–24 NBA season.
Draft picks
Round Pick Player Position Nationality School / club team 1 3 Scoot Henderson PG NBA G League Ignite () 1 23 Kris Murray PF Iowa 2 43 Rayan Rupert SG New Zealand Breakers ()
The Trail Blazers entered the draft holding two first round picks and one second round pick. They kept their lottery pick that landed 2nd overall, while the two others were acquired through previous trades. They had traded their original second-round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers before it was eventually used by the Boston Celtics in the draft.
With their first selection, the Trail Blazers would select NBA G League Ignite point guard Scoot Henderson as the #3 pick of the draft. Then, near the end of the first round, the Trail Blazers selected power forward Kris Murray from the University of Iowa as the 23rd pick. Finally, around the middle of the second round, Portland would end their draft night by selecting French shooting guard Rayan Rupert of the New Zealand Breakers in Australia's National Basketball League.
