The Suns were the sixth seed in the Western Conference with a 49-33 record.

Despite the team's elite roster, the Suns were swept by Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs.

They have made the playoffs in each of the previous four seasons and reached the 2021 NBA Finals (they lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in six games).
