NBA players voted Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis as an All Star starter over Philadelphia's Joel Embiid but Embiid won the overall vote due to support from fans and media.
Porzingis stated clearly how he felt about the voting when asked about it on Friday.
"Players know," Porzingis said, according to published reports. "That's all I'm going to say."
Starters were determined by a vote from fans, players and a select group of media.
Embiid ranked third in fan and media voting for Eastern Conference frontcourt players but was fourth in the player vote.
