NBA fans can now cast their ballots for the 2024 All-Star weekend. The 73rd edition of the highly entertaining event will take place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis between 16th and 18th of Februrary. The voting opened on 19th of December and in the meantime one particular player has made a long awaited return from a disciplinary punishment, grabbing most of the headlines.
Ja Morant marked his comeback by securing the Western Conference Player of the Week title on Monday, making a strong case for his All-Star game inclusion. The Memphis Grizzlies, struggling at 6-19 without Morant at the season’s start, have since experienced a remarkable 4-0 turnaround with him back on the court.
