Paul George Named All-Star For Third Time

He's averaging 23.7 points per game, which ranks eighth in NBA.

Indiana Pacers forward Paul George was selected an NBA All-Star for the third time in his six-year career Thursday.

George, 25, was voted by fans an Eastern Conference starter for the Feb. 14 game in Toronto. He ranked third in the conference with 711,595 votes. He’s eighth in scoring with an average of 23.7 points per game.

He was also voted a starter in 2014 and selected by coaches as a reserve in 2013, which at 22 made him the youngest Pacers player to ever be chosen for the game.
