# 2021–22 Portland Trail Blazers season

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.
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.

## Draft picks

Portland did not hold any picks for the 2021 NBA draft.
