Following the defeat, the Blazers and head coach Terry Stotts mutually agreed to part ways after nine years.^[1] Shortly after, the Blazers hired Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach Chauncey Billups to be their head coach.^[2]

On August 2, 2021, the Blazers announced coaching staff additions for the 2021–22 season.^[3]

After a loss to the San Antonio Spurs on April 1, the Blazers were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2013, ending their nine-year playoff streak. The longest active playoff streak now belongs to the Boston Celtics, making the playoffs every year since the 2014–15 NBA season.
