Following the defeat, the Blazers and head coach Terry Stotts mutually agreed to part ways after nine years. Shortly after, the Blazers hired Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach Chauncey Billups to be their head coach.
On August 2, 2021, the Blazers announced coaching staff additions for the 2021–22 season.
After a loss to the San Antonio Spurs on April 1, the Blazers were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2013, ending their nine-year playoff streak. The longest active playoff streak now belongs to the Boston Celtics, making the playoffs every year since the 2014-15 NBA season.
