The 2023–24 Toronto Raptors season is 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] The Raptors attempt 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. Near the end of the 2023 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 128–126 loss on the road.
