Nuggets center stayed steady at the No. 5 spot among Western Conference frontcourt players in the latest NBA all-star voting update released Thursday.
Jokic has 889,387 votes, nearly 300,000 behind Clippers forward Paul George, who’s in fourth place.
Lakers forward leads all vote-getters with 4.7 million votes, followed by Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (4.6 million), Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (4.5 million) and Lakers center Anthony Davis (4.4 million).
Former Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony, now a member of the Trail Blazers, climbed two spots to No. 6 among West frontcourt players.
