Hawks’ Trae Young still fifth among guards in third batch of All-Star fan voting

The NBA released its third batch of fan voting Thursday for the coming All-Star weekend, and the Hawks’ Trae Young ranks fifth among guards in the Eastern Conference.

He accumulated 705,936 fan votes behind the Hornets’ LaMelo Ball, the Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell, the Bucks’ Damian Lillard and the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson.

Fans account for 50% of the vote to determine the starters for the All-Star game. Current NBA players and a media panel account for 25% each. Votes from the 30 NBA coaches will determine the All-Star reserves.

On Friday, the NBA will run its penultimate “3-for-1 Day,” in which each fan vote counts three times. The final “3-for-1 Day” will run on the last day for fans to vote for All-Stars, which is Monday. TNT will reveal the NBA All-Star game starters Jan. 23.
