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 calendar 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.

Quick facts Toronto Raptors season, Head coach ...

Near the end of the Raptors' season, two-way contract player Jontay Porter would be investigated by the NBA directly on betting irregulates involved between January and March 2024. The games in question specifically revolved around losses with the Raptors on January 26 against the Los Angeles Clippers and March 20 against the Sacramento Kings, both of which had Porter leaving early due to complaints of injury or illness coming about (with both games coincidentally having Toronto losing by at least 20 points, if not more than that), though at least 11 more games were also bet upon as well. After the Raptors' season officially ended, the NBA would ban Porter from the NBA and the NBA G League development league for life on April 17 (three days after the Toronto Raptors' season concluded) following their own conclusive evidence they picked up. Porter would become the first NBA player to be banned for life for gambling purposes since Jack Molinas back in 1954, as well as the first player to be banned for life without a way to return to the NBA since Richard Dumas in 1996. He would also later face federal charges in relation to his case while playing in Toronto alongside four other co-conspirators, with those charges being faced both in the United States and in Canada due to his case involving both nations. Porter would later admit his guilt to said charges in relation to his case out in the U.S.A. while playing with the Raptors alongside the four other co-conspirators.[3][4]

The Toronto Raptors drew an average home attendance of 19,515 in 41 home games in the 2023-24 NBA season. The total attendance was 800,129.[5]
