Porzingis just misses being voted onto starting line-up at NBA All-Star Game
Latvian star Kristaps Porzingis just missed out on being voted onto the
starting line-up for Eastern Conference forwards/centers at this year's NBA
All-Star Game, but is likely to be included as a reserve, informs LETA.
The fan voting for this season's NBA All-Star Game began on December 21,
with Porzingis receiving 1.116 million votes in total, the fourth most amongst
Eastern Conference forwards/centers.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James received the most votes, followed
by Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid.
The reserves for this year's All-Star Game will be announced next week.
Porzingis, who is in his third season, has never played in the All-Star
Game, just missing out last season.
The 2018 NBA All-Star Game will be played on February 18 in Los Angeles.
