Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball and San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama stand out as the biggest snubs after the NBA All-Star Game

LaMelo Ball received an important injury update ahead of the Hornets' game on Friday night against the Trail Blazers.

Hornets 123, Pelicans 92. LaMelo Ball: 25 pts, 7 asts, 5 rebs, Miles Bridges: 22 pts, 6 rebs, 3 asts, Seth Curry: 16 pts, 4 asts, Josh Green: 13 pts. 2 rebs. Up next: vs. Lakers

Even though the format of the game is a bit different, the voting method remains the same. The results to determine the starting lineup are once again calculated based on a weighted system from fan voting, media voting, as well as player voting.

Charlotte, which has now won five of its past eight games, dominated against Zion Williamson and the Pelicans.

While LaMelo fans see him as carrying the Hornets on a nightly basis, media voters see a player that has lost 57 percent of his career games. One local beat writer who chose not to vote for Ball in the past cited the lack of team success as his main reason for passing on the guard.

Friday's game was only the fourth meeting between the Ball brothers due to injuries to both players. The head-to-head series is tied, 2-2.

Despite garnering the most fan votes among players in the Eastern Conference, the Charlotte Hornets point guard didn’t receive enough of the overall vote. Instead, New York’s Jalen Brunson and Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell will start for the conference in the league’s annual showcase.
