“I feel an obligation to get better. I don’t feel an obligation to be an All-Star,” Markkanen said. “I saw Zach (LaVine) say winning comes first and personal accolades come after that. That is true. But individually, making (All-Star) is definitely motivation for me. It’s always been my goal. I don’t know when’s the time. But I’m definitely working as hard as I can to make it.”
