2023–24 Miami Heat season
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2023–24 Miami Heat season was the 36th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Heat entered the season as the defending Eastern Conference champions and league runners-up after losing to the Denver Nuggets in the previous season 's NBA Finals in five games. This was the first season since 2002–03 without Udonis Haslem on the team's roster, as he retired from the NBA after 20 years the previous season .[1] They slightly improved upon their record from the previous year.
Finishing eighth in the Eastern Conference, the Heat clinched the eighth seed in the playoffs for the second straight year through the play-in tournament , losing to the 7th-seeded Philadelphia 76ers and defeating the 9th-seeded Chicago Bulls . The team attempted to qualify for back-to-back Finals appearances for the first time since 2013 and 2014 , but the Heat entered the playoffs without leading scorers Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier , who were sidelined due to injuries at the end of the season. In the first round, the Heat were eliminated by the Boston Celtics in five games.
Draft
The Heat held the 18th overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft .[2] The team traded their second-round pick, along with Josh McRoberts , to the Dallas Mavericks in 2017 as part of a deal to acquire A. J. Hammons .[3]
