The 2020–21 season for the Philadelphia 76ers represented the franchise's 72nd year competing in the NBA. On October 3, the organization appointed former Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers as their new leader, replacing Brett Brown. Amid a condensed 72-game schedule caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 76ers secured the top spot in the Eastern Conference with a 49–23 record, narrowly surpassing the Brooklyn Nets by a single game—achieving their best conference placement since the 2000–01 campaign.

During the postseason, Philadelphia overcame the Washington Wizards in a five-game series but were ultimately eliminated by the Atlanta Hawks in a seven-game conference semifinals matchup, which featured a significant collapse of a 26-point advantage in Game 5.

Prior to the draft, due to tiebreaker adjustments following the NBA Bubble resumption, the Sixers' acquired first-round selection (initially #22 and originally belonging to the Oklahoma City Thunder) moved up to #21. Their own first-round choice had been traded to the Brooklyn Nets. Additionally, Philadelphia secured four second-round picks—including their original #49 spot—through deals involving the Atlanta Hawks, New York Knicks, and Orlando Magic, facilitated via transactions with the Los Angeles Lakers.
