LeBron James Announces That He Will Not Play in Sunday's All-Star Game
LeBron James, a staple of the NBA All-Star Game since his second season in the league, will not be active for tonight's event.
Just hours before the new-look All-Star format is set to debut, James announced that he will be sitting the four-team tournament out due to ankle discomfort.
"Still dealing with ankle and foot discomfort so I will not be playing tonight, unfortunately," he told the media Sunday evening.
James was set to play for Team Shaq, alongside Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and now-former Los Angeles Lakers teammate Anthony Davis, among others. He joked about the veteran team, while saying he looks forward to seeing the new All-Star format play out.
