The NBA announced the All-Star starters for the Eastern and Western Conference on Thursday night, and for the 20th straight season, LeBron James will be a starter once again in an All-Star Game.
The All-Star Game will take place on February 18 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
In the West, along with James(20x), Kevin Durant(14x), Nikola Jokic(6x), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander(2x), and Luka Doncic(5x) were named All-Star starters, while in the East, Joel Embiid(7x), Giannis(8x) Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum(5x), Tyrese Haliburton(2x), and Damian Lillard(8x) got the nod.
Fan votes served as the tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same score. The Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard won the tiebreaker with the New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson for the second starting spot in the Eastern Conference guard group.
Starters for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game were selected by fans, current NBA players, and a media panel. Fans accounted for 50 percent of the vote to determine the starters, while players and media accounted for 25 percent each.
The All-Star reserves will be announced on February 1.
