Tyler Herro, among others of the Heat’s core, have made a case to earn a spot in the 2025 NBA All-Star game. The anticipated event marks an action-filled weekend that honors All-Star talent across the league. Voting takes place with help of the fans, media, players and coaches.
The way the voting system works for starters are a combination of 50% fan votes and 25% each from media and NBA players. The All-Star reserves on the other hand, get voted on by Eastern and Western conference coaches. However, coaches are restricted from voting in their own players.
This year’s All-Star game is set to take place on February 16, 2025 in San Francisco at the Golden State Warriors’s home arena— the Chase Center. League commissioner Adam Silver announced a new tournament format for the event.
It will feature three squads made up of eight NBA All-Stars, totaling 24 members across both conferences. There will be a fourth team that features rookies and sophomores from the Rising Stars game that same weekend.
When can you vote for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game?
This year’s All-Star game voting will open at 7 a.m. EST on December 19, 2024 and will close on January 20, 2024 at 11:59 EST. According to NBA.com, there has not been a formal timeline yet for the announcement of the starters and reserves. But last year, it was aired by TNT on January 23 and 30, respectively.
How to vote for Tyler Herro and Heat Players
NBA Website and App
Fans can begin voting on NBA.com/vote and the NBA app, which is available for free to IOS and Android users. The system is limited to just one ballot for each voter every 24 hours, where it will give access to create personal starting lineups for both the Eastern and Western conference.
There are certain dates where votes count as triple— scheduled for December 25th, January 1st, January 5th, January 12th, January 15th and January 19th.
Additionally, fans could vote through Twitter, by using hashtags like #NBAAllStar and the player’s names. There will also be ways to share ballots across other social media platforms and provide more endorsement to each voter’s picks. Sharing selections are a great method in maximizing a player’s exposure throughout the process.
Heat players to consider voting for
Herro is poised to earn his first All-Star honors, and has all the stats to back it up. Herro is averaging career-highs in virtually every statistical category, including 24.2 points and five assists on 48.5% shooting and 43% from 3-point range. He’s also at 5.3 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 87.4% from the free throw line. He is third in the league in most 3-point makes per game and seventh in best volume efficiency shooters.
For even more context on Herro’s breakout year, he has had five 30+ point games and ten 25+ point games 23 games this season. All last season, he had four 30+ point games and 13 25+ point games (including postseason).
But he isn’t the only All-Star caliber player in the Heat’s core, as Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo have put together strong campaigns of their own. Butler is averaging 18.6 points on a career-high 55% from the field— which leads the league among active wing players. Adebayo, coming off his third All-Star appearance last season, has showcased his two-way versatility with 13 double-doubles and one triple-double outing this year. He started off with a slow start offensively, but has upped his game of late. He is averaging 16.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 5.2 assists along with 1.5 steals on 0.8 blocks as the anchor to Miami’s top-ten defense.
With the team's recent success in winning eight of their last 11 games, they have climbed back into the East's fifth seed and just 2.0 games back of 3rd. The All-Star voting tends to award winning, so if they continue their streak throughout the voting, at least two of the Heat's big three could have a chance at representing in San Francisco.
