2023–24 Miami Heat season
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2023–24 Miami Heat season is the 36th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Heat enter the season as the defending Eastern Conference champions and league runners-up after losing to the Denver Nuggets in the previous season's NBA Finals in five games and attempt to qualify for back-to-back Finals appearances for the first time since 2013 and 2014, and win the Finals for the first time since 2013. This is the first season since 2002–03 without Udonis Haslem on the team's roster, as he retired from the NBA after 20 years the previous season.[1] They slightly improved upon their record from the previous year.
