The third fan returns for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game have been announced, revealing the current players who are leading the voting to become starters in the game. The Western Conference frontcourt is currently led by Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, followed by Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić in second place and Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant in third. Jokić is ahead of Durant by a significant margin of 31,642 votes.
In the West guard category, the Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Dončić is in first place, with Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry in second. The Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is currently in third place, trailing Curry by 285,041 votes.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Conference, the top three frontcourt spots are held by Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo (No. 1), Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid (No. 2), and Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum (No. 3). The difference between Embiid and Tatum is a mere 3,691 votes.
Among East guards, the Indiana Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton is currently in first place, followed by the Atlanta Hawks’ Trae Young in second. The Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard is currently in third place, trailing Young by 85,862 votes.
It’s important to note that the fans account for 50% of the vote to determine the starters for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, while current NBA players and a media panel account for 25% each. With only a few weeks left to vote, it remains to be seen whether any player will be able to displace the current leaders and secure a starting spot in the highly anticipated game.
