Blake Griffin was the lone member of the Los Angeles Clippers to be selected by fans to start the 2015 All-Star game, the NBA announced Thursday afternoon.

Griffin received 700,615 votes and will join other frontcourt players Anthony Davis (1,369,911) of New Orleans and Marc Gasol (795,121) of Memphis in the starting lineup for the Western Conference. The two guards are Stephen Curry (1,513,324) of Golden State and Kobe Bryant (1,152,402) of the Lakers; Bryant on Thursday was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff.

Curry was the overall leading vote-getter with the Eastern Conference’s LeBron James (1,470,483) of Cleveland second.

DeAndre Jordan (117,816) and Chris Paul (551,167) of the Clippers were 12th and fourth in the frontcourt and backcourt, respectively, in the West. They would now have to be voted in as reserves by the conference coaches. The reserves will be announced Jan. 29.

Joining James in the frontcourt for the Eastern Conference will be Pau Gasol (974,177) of Chicago and Carmelo Anthony (647,005) of New York. The two guards are Kyle Lowry (805,290) of Atlanta and John Wall (886,368) of Washington.
