The 2023–24 season for the Philadelphia 76ers represented the franchise's 75th campaign in the NBA. On May 16, 2023, the organization parted ways with head coach Doc Rivers after a three-year tenure and subsequently named Nick Nurse as the new head coach on June 1, 2023.

The team commenced the season with a strong performance, achieving a 29–13 record that positioned them near the second seed in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, their leading player Joel Embiid sustained a lateral meniscus tear on January 30, compounding earlier injury-related absences. The 76ers encountered difficulties during Embiid's sidelined period, managing an 11–22 record which dropped them to the eighth seed. Embiid made his return on April 2 in a victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite closing the regular season with an eight-game winning streak, Philadelphia secured only the seventh seed and earned their playoff berth by defeating the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament on April 17. Their postseason run concluded in the opening round with a 4–2 series loss to the New York Knicks, marking their earliest playoff elimination since 2020.

Fan support remained robust throughout the season, with the franchise averaging an attendance of 20,041 at home games over 41 contests—ranking third highest across the NBA.

Draft

The 76ers entered the 2023 NBA draft without any selections. Their sole second-round pick was forfeited due to tampering violations connected to free agency dealings, alongside their second-round pick for 2024.
