The 2013–14 Brooklyn Nets season was the franchise's 47th season, its 38th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 2nd season playing in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.

After making the playoffs for the first time in six years during the 2012–13 season, the Nets had a busy offseason which featured the hiring of Jason Kidd (who played for the then-New Jersey Nets from 200108 and led the Nets to the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003) as the head coach. The Nets also traded Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, and three future draft picks to the Celtics for all-stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, along with Jason Terry. These transactions led to the Nets having the largest payroll in the NBA, and high expectations heading into the season.

The Nets' season began on October 30 with a 94–98 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. In their home opener at the Barclays Center, the Nets defeated the Miami Heat, 101–100, on November 1. On November 3, the Nets lost to the Orlando Magic, being downed 1–2 in the regular season. The Nets had defeated the Utah Jazz in a blowout on November 5. In the first game of back-to-backs on November 8, the Nets lost to the Washington Wizards in overtime, 108–112. On November 9, the Nets lost the second game of the back-to-back to the Indiana Pacers, 91–96. The Sacramento Kings defeated the Nets in a blowout on November 13, losing three straight games.
