Mon Jan 20 20:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Curry Leads Warriors Charge in All-Star Voting, as Team Faces Roster Questions

**San Francisco, CA** – Stephen Curry is making a strong bid to start in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, currently ranking second among Western Conference guards in fan voting. While trailing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Curry’s 1,793,150 votes solidify his popularity. Fans have until Monday, January 20th to cast their votes (with Friday and Monday votes counting triple), with starters announced next Thursday. The Golden State Warriors will host the All-Star Game on February 16th.

Despite Curry’s individual success (averaging 22.9 points and leading the league with 4.4 three-pointers per game), the Warriors face questions about their future beyond their established stars. The team lacks a clear successor to Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant, raising concerns about the team’s long-term championship potential. Young players like Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody have yet to prove they can be cornerstones of a championship team.

The Warriors are exploring trade options to bolster their frontcourt, with players like Nikola Vucevic, John Collins, Jonas Valanciunas, and Robert Williams reportedly being considered. However, the chances of acquiring wing players like Jimmy Butler and Cam Johnson have diminished. The team’s current 13th place in the draft lottery standings gives them a significant chance (over 20%) to land a top-four pick, potentially securing a future star.

Meanwhile, the NBA reviewed several calls from the Warriors’ recent game, deeming them all correct. Elsewhere in the league, Jimmy Butler’s return to the Miami Heat after a recent absence is fraught with tension, and Joel Embiid will be re-evaluated for his knee injury in 7-10 days. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander praised the depth of his Oklahoma City Thunder team, highlighting their collective contributions to their impressive season.
