Portland’s guard is having a great season, but can’t make headway.
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard remains in the 7th position among NBA Western Conference Guards in 2023 NBA All-Star voting results. Lillard seems ensconced in the position following reports of the second round of ballots.

Lillard currently trails Warriors guard Steph Curry, Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks, Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilegous-Alexander, Golden State’s Klay Thompson, and Russell Westbrook of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Lillard has earned approximately 480,000 votes, leaving him alone in a middle ground between Westbrook with 689,000 and Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker with 307,000. Curry, the conference leader among guards, has 3,901,000 votes. Doncic stands slightly behind Curry with approximately 3,650,000. Absent a 100-point game, the chances of Lillard catching either is small.
Fan voting accounts for 50% of the combined total for NBA All-Star Game starters. Media members also vote, accounting for 25%. Votes among current players count for the remaining 25%. Fan voting closes a minute before midnight on Saturday, January 21st. After the starters are named, NBA coaches will vote on All-Star reserves, independent of the popular results.
Lillard is averaging 27.4 points per game on 43.6% shooting from the field, 35.8% from the three-point arc over 28 appearances for the Blazers this season. He plays 35.7 minutes per game, adding 4.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists to his scoring totals.
Lakers forward LeBron James leads all vote-getters with 4.825,229 votes, followed by Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant with 4,509,238.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who holds the record of the most consecutive NBA playoff wins?
With LeBron James leading the way, racking up an impressive 174 wins in NBA Playoffs history and 266 games played, it's no wonder he is one of the most sought-after basketball players today.
Which NBA player has been voted the NBA's most prolific scorer?
Kareem Adolphar is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. His career has seen him score 38,387 points. LeBron James is second with 37,062 point. Karl Malone is in third place with 36,928 points. Kobe Bryant, with 33 643 points, is in fourth. Michael Jordan is fifth with 32,292 point.
What is the difference between technical fouls and flagrant fouls in the NBA?
A technical foul in NBA refers to any unsportsmanlike behavior. This includes arguing with officials or excessive celebrating. A technical foul allows you to make one free throw, while the opposing team can also take possession of your ball.
Flagrant fouls occur when a teammate makes excessively violent or aggressive contact. This results in the loss of possession of the ball and two free throws for the opposing team. Flagrant one and flagrant two are the two types of flagrant fouls. Flagrant one is a lesser offense than Flagrant 2 and doesn't result in an ejection.
Any illegal contact between two players is a personal foul. It is usually called for illegal hand-checking, holding, pushing, or tripping an opponent. Personal fouls can lead to free throws or the possession of ball for the other team. Personal fouls don't necessarily indicate unsportsmanlike behaviour, but they are different from technical fouls or flagrant fouls.
In the NBA, all fouls can result in free throw attempts or possession of the ball for the opposing team. What the intention behind the foul and how severe the contact was are what will determine the difference between technical and personal fouls.

How To
When an NBA player is injured, are they paid?
NBA players with guaranteed contracts receive their money in full even when injured and unable to play-- some have even made millions without playing a game. Their contract may be terminated or they could lose their bonuses. Non-guaranteed contract players won't typically be paid until they are able to play again in the NBA. For those who qualify, the NBA may offer assistance with disability payments or a settlement in a lump sum. However, no guarantees of payment are made for injury-related absences. Teams and the league can also help those who are in greatest need.
Teams can also provide some assistance through the Injury Disability Plan. It depends on the individual's and team's situation. Sometimes players can negotiate with their teams to get some money while they are out of town due to injury. While there is no guarantee that players will receive payment if they are injured, the league and team can offer some assistance. Each situation should be considered as an individual. The NBA has detailed rules for injuries and payment during injury absences. Knowing these rules can help players make agreements with their teams, or to make informed financial decisions about the future. If you have questions or concerns, it's important to seek professional advice.
