# 2022–23 Brooklyn Nets season

The 2022–23 Brooklyn Nets season was the 47th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), 56th season overall, and its 11th season playing in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
On November 1, 2022, Steve Nash was fired as the Nets' head coach after the team started the season with a 2–5 record and was replaced by Jacque Vaughn on an interim basis. On November 9, Vaughn was named the new head coach. On April 7, 2023, the Nets clinched a playoff spot after a 101–84 win against the Orlando Magic. In the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs, they faced the Philadelphia 76ers, losing the series 4–0. It was the third time in four seasons that the Nets were swept in the first round of the playoffs (also in the 2020 and 2022 playoffs).
