Sabonis and guard Fox, who are both having All-Star-esque seasons, are currently working towards securing spots on the Western Conference’s All-Star roster for next month’s festivities.
The duo has acted as a driving force behind Sacramento’s strong start to the season, as the Kings currently sit atop the Pacific Division and 3rd place in the Western Conference standings. They currently have a 3.5 game lead over the Golden State Warriors.
Sabonis, a two-time All-Star, is making a solid case for his third appearance in the NBA’s midseason showcase as the big man is averaging 18.9 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game this season.
Fox, who is still searching for his first All-Star nod, has turned heads this season while averaging 24 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6 assists per game.
NBA All-Star fan voting
The 72nd NBA All-Star Game will take place on Sunday, Feb. 19, in Salt Lake City.
Fan voting lasts until Jan. 21, 2023. On select days, fan votes count three times.
Fans account for 50% of the total votes, with current players and media accounting for 25% each. One ballot consists of three frontcourt players and two guards from each conference. Fans will only be able to submit one ballot per day.
“Fans voting on the NBA App or NBA.com for the first time can sign up for an NBA ID, the league’s new global membership program, and voters in the United States and Canada will be entered for a chance to win a trip to NBA All-Star 2023,” the league said in a press release.
Starters will be unveiled on TNT NBA Tip-Off on Thursday, Jan. 26. NBA head coaches will select the reserves, who will be announced a week later on Feb. 2.
