How does NBA All-Star voting work?
The starters — two guards and three frontcourt players — are determined by a vote among fans (50%), players (25%) and select media (25%). Fans can only vote once per day through the NBA app or NBA.com. Voting took place between January 20 and December 20.
Who did the fans vote for?
Western Conference starting pool
LeBron James (Captain)
Stephen Curry
Luka Doncic
Nikola Jokic
Zion Williamson
Eastern Conference starting pool
Giannis Antetokounmpo (captain)
Kevin Durant
Kyrie Irving
Donovan Mitchell

How are reservations selected?
Reserves are chosen by voting among the head coaches, although head coaches cannot vote for their own players. There are seven reservations per conference.
How does the NBA All-Star Draft work?
For the first time since the NBA All-Star Draft was introduced in 2018, the captains, who are the top two vote-getters in each conference, will pick their teams in person during a pregame segment. Prior to this change, the captains chose their teams in a televised special in the weeks leading up to the match.
