INDIANAPOLIS — Pacers forward Pascal Siakam fell one spot from ninth to 10th on the Eastern Conference ballot in the NBA’s second All-Star Game fan vote returns, which were released Tuesday.

The three-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA pick has 298,761 total votes. He was ninth with 155,910 when the first returns were released on Dec. 29. Since then, he’s been passed by Brooklyn Nets swingman Michael Porter Jr., who moved from 10th to ninth with 304,316 votes.

Siakam leads the Pacers and ranks 23rd in the NBA with 23.8 points per game, shooting 48.7% from the floor and 37.2% from 3-point range. He also leads the Pacers in rebounds with 6.7 per game and steals with 1.3 per game. He’s third on the team in assists with 3.8 per game. However, following their NBA Finals run, the Pacers are 6-30 and 2025-26 and riding a 12-game losing streak that matches a franchise record.

Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo leads all vote-getters in the East with nearly 2.1 million votes. Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey rank second and third respectively with over 1.9 million votes. Detroit’s Cade Cunningham is fourth at over 1.75 million votes. Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell and Boston’s Jaylen Brown are fifth and sixth respectively with over 1.5 million votes. Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (898,038) and Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (525,789) rank seventh and eighth. Lakers guard Luka Doncic leads the Western Conference and all vote getters with nearly 2.3 million votes.

All-Star fan voting will conclude on Jan. 14 and the starters for the Feb. 15 All-Star Game in Los Angeles will be announced on Jan. 19. After that, the coaches will select the All-Star reserves, of which there will be seven in each conference. This year will feature a three-team tournament format of eight players each including one international team, which could work to Siakam’s benefit. If there are not eight international players among the 10 starters and 14 reserves named in each of the two conferences, commissioner Adam Silver would add international players to the game. The same would go if there are not 16 American players to field two eight-man teams.
