LeBron James, despite being set for his 21st consecutive NBA All-Star Game, withdrew due to persisting foot and ankle soreness. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing his health and maintaining readiness for the playoffs. Although disappointed, James expressed understanding of the situation, acknowledging his long-term struggle with this injury. He intends to focus on recovery before the Lakers' upcoming game against Charlotte, indicating a commitment to his overall well-being and the team's success in the remainder of the season.
I felt like it's very important for me to take care of myself and understand what's coming on. I don't want to say it's 'maintenance,' but it is maintenance.
You won't see anything from me tonight, unfortunately. I will not be in uniform tonight. Still dealing with ankle and foot discomfort.
