2023–24 New York Knicks season
The 2023–24 New York Knicks season is the 78th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Prior to the season, the team was given the nickname of the Nova Knicks due to having four former members of the 2016 Villanova Wildcats national championship team on the roster in Ryan Arcidiacono (prior to his trade midseason), Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, and Josh Hart.

On December 30, the Knicks traded RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a second-round pick to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, and Malachi Flynn. Anunoby made an immediate impact with the Knicks, recording an NBA-record plus-minus of 170 in his first ten games with the team and propelling the Knicks to a 14–2 record in January, which included winning streaks of six and nine games.
On April 11, 2024, the Knicks got their 48th win of the season against the top–seeded 62–17 Boston Celtics, meaning the Knicks will have improved over last season's 47–35 record by at least 1 game. Their final 120-119 overtime win over the Chicago Bulls also gave New York their first 50–win season since 2013 and allowed them to finish the regular season as the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
