NBA professional basketball team season / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2023–24 Toronto Raptors season was the 29th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). On April 21, 2023, the Raptors fired head coach Nick Nurse after five seasons with the team.[1] On June 13, 2023, the Raptors hired Darko Rajaković as their head coach.[2] Near the end of the 2023 calender year, on December 30, the Toronto Raptors not only agreed to trade OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, and Malachi Flynn to the New York Knicks for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a 2024 second round pick from the Detroit Pistons, but also ended up being the team to end the Pistons' record-holding 28-game losing streak for the regular season with a 129–127 loss on the road. On January 17, 2024, the Raptors traded star player Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers for Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora, Kira Lewis Jr. and 3 first-round picks. Following a loss to the Denver Nuggets on March 11, 2024, the Raptors failed to improve on their 41–41 record from the previous season during which they failed to make the playoffs after being eliminated in a play-in game by the Bulls. They sealed their 2nd losing season in the last decade and first in a full 82 game season since the 2012-13 season. After a loss to the New York Knicks and an Atlanta Hawks win over the Portland Trail Blazers on March 27, the Toronto Raptors were eliminated from playoff contention for the 2nd consecutive season.
