The early results are in, and Paul George ranks third in the Eastern Conference so far, which means he will be starting the front court in February barring a major change in the coming weeks.
LeBron James (357,937 votes), Dwayne Wade (300,595), and George (283,785) are the only players in the conference with 150,000 votes, making each a virtual shoe-in to start.
Voting ends January 18.
This will be Paul George’s third All-Star selection, including his second start.
There were questions whether the superstar would be able to return to form after the devastating leg injury he suffered during Team USA training in August 2014.
