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%.
Jalen Brunson of the Knicks and Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell are the starting guards for the East.
