New York (AFP) – Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic continued to lead all vote-getters in returns released Thursday for starting spots in next month’s NBA All-Star Game. Greek star Antetokounmpo, the NBA’s leading scorer and a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, topped the Eastern Conference frontcourt voting with 2,721,339 while Jokic paced the Western Conference frontcourt with 2,277,723 votes.

Fan voting counts for 50% in deciding starters for the February 16 contest in San Francisco, with a media panel and current NBA players each accounting for 25% of final totals. All-Star Game starters will be revealed on January 23. The NBA has changed the format for the 2025 matchup with a four-team tournament replacing the old two-team system. Squads picked by Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith will be joined by the Rising Stars Challenge winners, guided by Women’s NBA legend Candace Parker.
