How does NBA All-Star voting work?
The starters — two guards and three front court players — are determined by a vote between the fans (50%), players (25%) and select media members (25%). Fans can only vote once per day through the NBA app or NBA.com. Voting took place between Jan. 20 and Dec. 20.
Who did the fans vote for?

How are reserves selected?
Reserves are chosen by a vote among head coaches, though head coaches aren’t allowed to vote for their own players. There are seven reserves per conference.
How does the NBA All-Star Draft work?
For the first time since the NBA All-Star Draft was introduced in 2018, the captains — which are the two leading vote-getters in each conference — will pick their teams in-person during a pregame segment before the game. Prior to this change, captains picked their teams in a televised special in the weeks leading up to the game.
2023 Rising Stars Challenge Roster
The Rising Stars Challenge (9 p.m. ET on February 17th on TNT) will consist of a mini tournament featuring four teams and three games. 21 NBA players will be drafted onto three teams, while the fourth team will consist of seven G League players. Pau Gasol, Joakim Noah, Jason Terry, and Deron Williams will be honorary coaches. Each game will be played to a Final Target Score, with two semifinals being played to 40, and the championship game being played to 25.
