Don't miss your chance to vote for your favorite NBA All-Stars! The NBA All-Star Voting 2025 presented by AT&T will end on Monday, Jan. 20 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Tomorrow (Friday, Jan. 17) and Monday are the last two "3-for-1 Days," where each fan vote with an NBA ID will be counted three times. Be sure to cast your votes before the deadline to have your voice heard in selecting the All-Star players.

The starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game will be revealed by TNT on Thursday, Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. ET.  NBA ID members account for 50% of the vote to determine the starters, and current NBA players and a media panel account for 25% each.

In the third fan returns, Antetokounmpo continues to lead the East frontcourt and is followed by Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum in second place and New York Knicks center-forward Karl-Anthony Towns in third place.  At East guard, the Charlotte Hornets’ LaMelo Ball and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell remain in first and second place, respectively.

In the West, the top three frontcourt spots are held by Jokić (No. 1), Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (No. 2) and Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (No. 3), with James moving ahead of Durant by 92,444 votes. The Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander still leads among West guards and the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry is in second place.

Below are the top 10 vote-getters by position group in the second fan returns.

NBA All-Star Voting

NBA All-Star Voting presented by AT&T, the Official 5G Wireless Network of the NBA, tipped off on Thursday, Dec. 19 at 10 a.m. ET and concludes on Monday, Jan. 20 at 11:59 p.m. ET, giving fans the opportunity to vote for the NBA All-Star Game starters via the NBA App and NBA.com with their NBA ID.

NBA ID, which offers fans benefits and rewards from the league and its partners, is free to join here. Voters in the United States will be automatically entered into the NBA ID All-Star Voting Sweepstakes presented by AT&T for the opportunity to win a trip to the San Francisco Bay Area for NBA All-Star 2025.

During the voting period, NBA ID members can submit one full ballot each day via the NBA App and the NBA.com voting page (NBA.com/vote). One full ballot comprises three frontcourt players and two guards from both the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. All current NBA players will be available for selection.

On six special “3-for-1 Days,” NBA ID members’ votes will count three times. These days, from 12:01 a.m. ET – 11:59 p.m. ET, will take place on Saturday, Dec. 21, Wednesday, Dec. 25, Friday, Jan. 3, Friday, Jan. 10, Friday, Jan. 17 and Monday, Jan. 20 (the final day of voting).

Fan voting updates will be shared on the first three Thursdays in January (Jan. 2, 9 and 16). TNT will reveal the NBA All-Star Game starters on Thursday, Jan. 23 and the reserves on Thursday, Jan. 30.

Current NBA players and a media panel will continue to join fans in selecting the NBA All-Star Game starters. Each player and media member will be able to complete one full ballot during the voting period.

After all votes for NBA All-Star Game starters are tallied, players will be ranked in each conference by position (guard and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups – fan votes, player votes and media votes. Each player’s score will be calculated by averaging his weighted rank from the fan votes, the player votes and the media votes. The two guards and three frontcourt players with the best score in each conference will be named NBA All-Star Game starters. Fan voting will serve as the tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same score.
