It should come as no surprise that NBA fans want to see the game's biggest talent play in the All-Star Game. Basketball fans made their voice heard Monday, as the NBA revealed the results of its first round of fan voting for the 2025-26 NBA All-Star Game.

With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić leads all vote-getters in the West and Milwaukee Bucks big man Giannis Antetokounmpo leads all vote-getters in the East.

Those two players sit above the rest of the league, though Dončić has a slight lead over Antetokounmpo for most votes from the fans. 

Over in the West, Dončić is followed by Nikola Jokić, Stephen Curry, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama in the top-5. Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham and Donovan Mitchell sit behind Antetokounmpo in the Eastern Conference. 

While fans won't make the final decision on which players make it into the All-Star Game, they do carry a large percentage of the vote. The fans make up 50 percent of the All-Star votes. Players and a panel of media voters each carry 25 percent of the final vote. 

The NBA will unveil multiple voting updates before the All-Star teams are finalized. The next voting update is slated for Jan. 6. 

The NBA All-Star Game format will look a bit different this year. Two teams of U.S. players and one team of international players will take part in a round-robin tournament during the event, which will feature four 12-minute games. 

The festivities begin Feb. 15, 2026 and will be held at the Intuit Dome in California, where the Los Angeles Clippers play their home games.
