The starting lineups for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game were announced Thursday, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who received more than 4.4 million votes from fans, the most of any player. The leading vote-getter among Western Conference All-Stars was Nikola Jokić.

Starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star game were announced on Thursday night and the Denver Nuggets superstar center Nikola Jokić was named as a frontcourt starter for the Western Conference. Jokić will join Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns and LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers in the West frontcourt while Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder will man the backcourt for the West.

Nikola Jokić recorded his third consecutive triple-double — and his 18th of the season — in the Denver Nuggets ' 113–100 win over the Orlando Magic on Sunday.

Unfortunately, only one of the Lakers' two superstars were named an All-Star starter in 2025. Popularity admittedly plays a part, and LeBron James continues to be the most recognizable NBA player on the planet—thus resulting in an inevitable selection.

Of course, fans are used to seeing Jokić make incredible passes, but this time it was a shot that sent the NBA world into a frenzy. Jokić pulled off a nearly full court shot to beat the buzzer at the end of the third quarter that put Denver up 110-85.

Jokić became the first player to get 30 points, 20 rebounds and 15 assists in an NBA game since Wilt Chamberlain.

Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James & Anthony Davis sit in second and fifth in the West frontcourt in NBA All-Star voting returns.

This season included a few obvious choices, but several difficult calls for the Feb. 16 game in San Francisco.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis combined to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 117-96 thumping of the defending champion Boston Celtics on Thursday.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić maintain their leads in the Eastern and Western Conferences, respectively, as the third fan returns of NBA All-Star Voting 2025 presented by AT&T are announced.
