The 2023–24 Portland Trail Blazers season is the 54th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This is 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.[1] 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.[2]

2023–24 season schedule

In-season tournament

This will be the first regular season where all the NBA teams will compete in a mid-season tournament setting due to the implementation of the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament.[6][7] During the in-season tournament period, the Trail Blazers will compete in Group A of the Western Conference, which will include the Memphis Grizzlies, the Phoenix Suns, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Utah Jazz. While the Trail Blazers started the In-Season Tournament with an overtime win over the Grizzlies, subsequent losses to the Lakers, Jazz, and Suns that happened during an 8-game losing streak in November eliminated the Trail Blazers from the tournament.
