The 2023 NBA playoffs feature six UCLA Bruins competing across five teams, a smaller representation than expected. Notable players include Jrue Holiday, who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, and Aaron Holiday with the Houston Rockets. The playoffs began with the Trail Blazers facing the San Antonio Spurs, while the Rockets will take on the Los Angeles Lakers. Adem Bona is making his playoff debut with the Philadelphia 76ers, who are up against the Boston Celtics. Peyton Watson of the Denver Nuggets aims for a deeper playoff run after winning the Finals in his rookie season. Meanwhile, Kyle Anderson and Jaylen Clark are both with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are looking to advance past the Nuggets. Historically, UCLA has produced 106 players for the NBA/ABA, including legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Russell Westbrook.
