PARIS (AP) — Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo has passed Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant for the All-Star Game voting lead among Eastern Conference players. That puts him on track to be a captain for the Feb. 19 game in Salt Lake City. Antetokounmpo leads Durant by 132,014 votes among East players. LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers remains the overall voting leader, with 6,506,682 votes. If the order doesn’t change, Antetokounmpo and James will be captains. It would be the third time those players go head-to-head choosing their All-Star rosters. Voting continues through Saturday.
