Despite leading the fan vote amongst Eastern Conference guards by a wide margin, LaMelo Ball was not named as an All-Star starter on Thursday night. Ball had the third-most votes from fellow players, but the seventh-most from media members. Fan vote accounts for 50%, while players and media each carry 25%.
