The 1973–74 Philadelphia 76ers season represented the 76ers' 25th campaign in the NBA and their 11th year competing in Philadelphia. The squad demonstrated notable progress, increasing their win total from a league-low 9 victories the previous season to 25 wins. This upswing was largely fueled by the fruitful 1973 NBA draft, where they obtained the first overall selection, choosing Doug Collins. Other important draft picks included future assets George McGinnis and Caldwell Jones, although both opted to play in the ABA instead.

Leading the team in scoring was Fred Carter, who averaged more than 20 points each game, while rookie Doug Collins, the top pick hailing from Illinois State, contributed promising potential.
