The 2014–15 Portland Trail Blazers season is the 45th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1]
The Trail Blazers finished the regular-season record at 51-31, and captured the franchise's first Northwest division title. They were eliminated by Memphis Grizzlies in the first round (4-1). Midway through the season Wesley Matthews suffered a season-ending Achilles tear. Following the season, LaMarcus Aldridge signed as a free agent with the San Antonio Spurs.
