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.
