MILWAUKEE — Warriors guard Stephen Curry is on track to become a team captain in the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, which would force him to make a tricky decision: Who does he select to join his squad?
Under the league’s new All-Star Game format, the player from each conference who receives the most fan votes will choose rosters from a pool of players voted as starters and reserves. With 1,369,658 votes, Curry was the Western Conference’s leading vote-getter in the second fan returns announced Thursday.
Kevin Durant, with 1,326,059 votes, was a close second. Those two are well on pace to be named starters, with Draymond Green and Klay Thompson still within striking distance.
