The 2023–24 Denver Nuggets season was the 48th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] The Nuggets entered the season as the defending NBA, Western Conference, and Northwest Division champions after winning the 2023 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat during the previous season in five games for their first championship.[2] The Nuggets managed to clinch their 6th straight playoff berth on March 31, 2024, after they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers. On May 8, 2024, center Nikola Jokić won his third MVP award in four seasons.

The Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in five games in the first round of the playoffs, a rematch of last season's Western Conference Finals in which Denver swept Los Angeles. In the Semifinals, the Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves exchanged blowouts in a seven-game series, but the Nuggets would blow a 20-point lead in Game 7 as they were eliminated by the Timberwolves 98-90 despite having Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokić scoring a combined 69 points. The Nuggets became the first team in NBA history to lose a Game 7 after leading by 15 or more points at halftime.
