A Promising Fifth Place in a Competitive Western Conference

In a particularly competitive Western Conference, Victor Wembanyama ranks behind four established superstars. Luka Dončić dominates the voting with 1,249,518 votes, followed by Nikola Jokić (1,128,962 votes) and Stephen Curry (1,031,455 votes). The Frenchman is ahead of Anthony Edwards (650,085 votes) and maintains a comfortable lead over his pursuers.

This fifth position could mean starter status if maintained through the end of the voting process. As a reminder, All-Star player selection is based on three criteria: fan votes count for 50%, while NBA player votes and a panel of journalists each represent 25% of the final decision.

An All-Star Game with a New Format Scheduled for February

The 2025 All-Star Game will take place on February 15 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and will feature a new format. This edition will see two teams of United States players face off against a « rest of the world » selection, which promises to be particularly strong with several international talents in the current top 10.

In the East, Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the way with 1,192,296 votes, ahead of Tyrese Maxey (1,072,449) and Jalen Brunson (1,040,601). The voting process, which opened on December 17, will continue until January 14. Another update will be released on January 6, allowing trends to be refined before the final selection.

For Victor Wembanyama, this favorable position is excellent news in his quest for a second consecutive All-Star Game selection, confirming his growing status in the league.
