Both Finals series involved the Heat on the losing side. In 2023, the Spurs were joined by the Denver Nuggets as the only former ABA franchises to win an NBA championship. This was the first NBA Finals since 1984 to use the 2–2–1–1–1 format after the Board of Governors agreed to change the format from 2–3–2, which was used from 1985 to 2013. The series serves a rematch from the previous NBA season, the 12th in Finals history, but only the fifth since the ABA–NBA merger in 1976.

It was contested between two-time defending NBA champion and Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat and the Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs.
