The 2021–22 Portland Trail Blazers season was the 52nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Blazers entered the season following a playoff defeat from the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the 2021 NBA playoffs where they lost in six games. 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.
