Devin Booker wasn’t going to make it via fan voting anyway.
Luka Doncic and James Harden appear to be starting backcourt locks while LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard are shoe-ins to start in the frontcourt.
Los Angeles Lakers backup guard Alex Caruso had at least 300,000 more votes than Booker in the third fans returns Thursday for the 2020 NBA All-Star game Feb. 6 in Chicago.
Coaches will determine Booker’s all-star fate.
They’ll fill out the respective Eastern Conference and Western Conference rosters by voting for two backcourt players, three frontcourt players and two wild cards who can be guards, forwards or centers.
