The 2005–06 Los Angeles Lakers season was the 58th of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the 60th overall. The Lakers finished in third place of the Pacific Division and as the seventh seed of the Western Conference. The season ended with the team being eliminated in seven games against the Phoenix Suns in the First Round of the playoffs after holding a 3–1 series lead. After a year absence, the Lakers rehired Phil Jackson as their head coach. It was the final season that Kobe Bryant wore jersey number 8 before changing it to 24 the following season. Also memorable from this season was during a January 22, 2006 game vs. the Toronto Raptors where Bryant dropped a record 81 points, the 2nd highest total in NBA history behind only Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game in 1962.

After the playoffs, Bryant underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in July. This led to him missing the 2006 FIBA World Championship.{{cite web|author=Mike Bresnahan|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-jul-16-sp-kobe16-story.html|title=Bryant Opts to Fix Knee|work=Los Angeles Times|date=July 16, 2006|accessdate=November 23, 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://africa.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=2520373|title=Kobe won't play for USA after knee surgery|publisher=ESPN|date=July 15, 2006|accessdate=November 23, 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/news/USA-Knee-op-knocks-Kobe-out-of-FIBA-World-Championship|title=USA - Knee-op knocks Kobe out of FIBA World Championship|publisher=FIBA|date=July 18, 2006|accessdate=November 23, 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/16/sports/basketball/16kobe.html|title=Surgery for Bryant Is Bad News for U.S.|work=The New York Times|date=July 16, 2006|accessdate=November 23, 2021}}
