The 2023–24 Los Angeles Clippers season was the 54th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 46th season in Southern California and their 40th season in Los Angeles. This was also the Clippers' final season at the Crypto.com Arena, as the team will move to the new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California starting in the 2024–25 season.[1]

Into the start of the 2023–24 season, the Clippers acquired 10-time NBA All-Star and 2018 League MVP James Harden in a blockbuster trade on November 1, 2023.[2] The acquisition reunited him with former Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets teammate Russell Westbrook in addition to Harden being added along to perennial All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to form a new superteam in the West.[3] The trade also set a new aggregate All-Star milestone spanning 32 All-Star appearances totaled between that of George, Harden, Leonard and Westbrook. In the ensuing aftermath of the transaction, the Clippers were heavily criticized for refusing to deal Terance Mann as part of the agreement in a do-or-die season where they were at risk of losing all their All-Stars to free agency prior to the move to the new arena next season.[4][5][6] What was initially expected to commence of as a highly promising start into the 2023–24 season in October that saw Clippers attain a 3–1 record, the team suffered a regrettable succession of six consecutive losses. As the series of unfortunate streak of defeats between November 1 to November 14 unfolded following a favorable beginning to the season in October, the Clippers finally managed to break their unfortunate string of ill-fated losses by securing a triumphant win over the Houston Rockets on November 17, 2023.

Since December, the Clippers emerged as a formidable force in the league, commencing with a remarkable 9-game winning streak characterized by several lopsided victories. Their ascent led them to establish themselves as one of the top teams in the Western Conference. Securing their 2nd consecutive playoff berth, the Clippers also clinched their first division title for the first time since 2014 while also achieving a milestone of 50 wins for the first time since 2017. Despite the team's strong performance in the regular season, the Clippers witnessed a disheartening premature First Round exit from the playoffs for the second consecutive year, this time falling to the Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving-led Dallas Mavericks in a six-game series. The Mavericks would go on advance to the 2024 NBA Finals, marking their first appearance in the championship series in thirteen years. However, the Mavericks were ultimately bested by the Boston Celtics in five games.

The Los Angeles Clippers drew an average home attendance of 18,945 in 41 home games in the 2023-24 NBA season.[7]
