2023–24 New York Knicks season
Season of National Basketball Association team the New York Knicks
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2023–24 New York Knicks season was the 78th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
On December 30, the Knicks traded RJ Barrett , Immanuel Quickley , and a second-round pick to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for OG Anunoby , Precious Achiuwa , and Malachi Flynn .[ 1] Anunoby made an immediate impact with the Knicks, recording an NBA-record plus-minus of 170 in his first ten games with the team[ 2] and propelling the Knicks to a 14–2 record in January, which included winning streaks of six and nine games.
On January 27, 2024, star forward Julius Randle dislocated his right shoulder late in the 4th quarter in a game against the Miami Heat . The injury sidelined Randle for weeks, with many around the Knicks organization hoping he would be able to heal in time before the playoffs. On April 4, the team announced Randle would undergo season-ending surgery on his shoulder.[ 3]
On April 11, the Knicks got their 48th win of the season against the top–seeded Boston Celtics , meaning the Knicks improved over last season's 47–35 record. Their final 120–119 overtime win over the Chicago Bulls also gave New York their first 50 win season since 2013 and allowed them to finish the regular season as the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
In the playoffs , the Knicks beat the Philadelphia 76ers in six games in the first round. Decimated by injury, they were upset by the Indiana Pacers in seven games in the second round.
The New York Knicks drew an average home attendance of 19,728 in 41 home games in the 2023-24 NBA season.[ 4]
Draft
The Knicks entered this draft with no draft pick.[ 5]
