The 2023-24 New York Knicks season was a memorable 78th NBA campaign, highlighted by their first appearance in the new NBA In-Season Tournament, where they reached the quarterfinals before losing to the Milwaukee Bucks. A pivotal moment came on December 30, when the team traded RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to the Toronto Raptors for OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, and Malachi Flynn—a move that sparked a 14-2 January, with Anunoby setting an NBA record for plus-minus in his first ten games. However, the season was marred by a major injury on January 27, when star forward Julius Randle dislocated his right shoulder, ultimately requiring season-ending surgery on April 4. Despite the setback, the Knicks surged to a 50-32 record—their first 50-win season since 2013—finishing as the second seed in the Eastern Conference after a thrilling overtime win over the Chicago Bulls. In the playoffs, they defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in six games in the first round, but injuries caught up with them as they were upset by the Indiana Pacers in seven games in the second round. The team also drew an impressive average home attendance of 19,728 per game, showcasing their passionate fan base throughout the season.
