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.[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]
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.

See main article: 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament. This was the first regular season where all the NBA teams competed 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 competed in Group A of the Western Conference, which included 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.
