"Joe Johnson will have to wait another week to see if he is named to the NBA All-Star team.

The Hawks guard was not one of the five Eastern Conference starters, as determined by fan voting, announced by the league Thursday night. Johnson is a strong candidate to be named to his sixth consecutive All-Star team when the reserves are announced Feb. 9.

Johnson has made every All-Star team since 2007. He leads the Hawks in scoring at 19.1 points per game, 16th in the league. Johnson is seventh on the Hawks' all-time scoring list. He had scored 9,898 points playing for the Hawks entering Thursday night's game."
