Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains at No. 4 in All-Star voting for Western Conference guards
The NBA announced the second round of fan All-Star voting on Thursday and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains at No. 4 among Western Conference guards.
The top four are in the same order of Stephen Curry (3,901,808 votes), Luka Doncic (3,649,647 votes), Ja Morant (1,397,102 votes) and Gilgeous-Alexander (1,338,764).
Fan votes account for 50%. Players and media each account for 25% of the vote total. The five players — two guards and three frontcourt players — with the most votes in each conference will be named All-Star starters.
Gilgeous-Alexander trails Morant by 58,338 votes, a significantly larger gap than the first round of voting showed of 3,733 votes.
It looks increasingly likely Gilgeous-Alexander stays at No. 4. If that’s the case, his All-Star chances will rely on the 30 NBA head coaches voting him in as a reserve — which should happen.
In 37 games, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 30.8 points on 50.1 percent shooting, 5.6 assists and 4.8 rebounds. The next fan voting update is Jan. 19.
