The fan voting for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game continues to heat up, and the second returns were unveiled on Thursday.
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antentokounmpo is still the leading vote-getter overall for the second straight week with more than 2,700,000 votes. Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić still leads the Western Conference with more than 2,200,000 votes. Here are the rest of the results:
Despite missing Denver's last two games due to an illness, Jokić used back-to-back 40-point games over the weekend to take over as the NBA's leading scorer with an average of 31.5 points per game. He dropped 41 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Friday and followed that up with 46 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists in Saturday's bounce-back win over the Spurs.
Antetokounmpo now ranks second in the league with 31.3 points per game, but he's still performing at a level that could garner him his third career NBA MVP award. He recorded a triple-double in Monday's win over the Toronto Raptors and had 25 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists in Wednesday's win over the Spurs. The 30-year-old is shooting 59.9 percent from the field, the second-highest mark of his career.
Fans have until Jan. 20 at 11:59 p.m. ET to submit their votes for the 2025 All-Star Game. The starters for the game will be announced on Thursday, Jan. 23 during TNT's NBA Tip-Off before a doubleheader featuring the Bucks vs. the Miami Heat and the Celtics vs. the Los Angeles Lakers.
This year's All-Star Game will be played on Feb. 16 and will look vastly different from past years, as it will be a four-team tournament featuring three teams of eight NBA All-Stars and the winning team from the Rising Stars Game. Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith will draft the three teams of All-Stars on Feb. 6.
