Cleveland Cavaliers All-Stars Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley are well-positioned in the initial fan voting for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. However, teammates Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen remain absent from the top 10 at their respective positions.
DALLAS — The NBA -best Cavs have been campaigning for their Core 4 — Donovan Mitchell , Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen — to get All-Star recognition. In the first fan returns released Thursday afternoon, only Mitchell and Mobley appear in the top 10 at their respective positions.
Mitchell, Cleveland’s leading scorer and a five-time All-Star, is second among Eastern Conference guards, behind Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball who has the fourth-highest allotment of East votes with nearly 950,000 compared to Mitchell’s 718.084. Mobley, a fourth-year forward looking to make his first appearance, currently sits 10th in the East frontcourt. He has a little more than 145,000 votes. Garland and Allen, for now, are nowhere to be found. To put those numbers in perspective, Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo is the leading vote-getter overall, already racking up nearly 1.8 million. Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is the Western Conference pacesetter at 1.4 million. Voting will continue through Jan. 20 and starters — two guards and three frontcourt from each conference — will be revealed on TNT on Jan. 23. Per league rules, fans account for 50% of the vote to decide All-Star starters. NBA players and a media panel account for 25% each. The seven reserves from each conference will be chosen by NBA coaches. Those players will be announced at a later date. Based on Thursday’s results, the Cavs, who have been hopeful of sending multiple All-Stars to San Francisco for the 2025 showcase, might need help from NBA coaches to get Mitchell some company. In 32 games this season, Mitchell is averaging a team-best 23.7 points on 45.6% from the field and 41.5% from 3-point range to go with 4.6 rebounds and 4.6 assist
