SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - LeBron James will not play in Sunday's All-Star Game, the first time he has been selected but will not participate in the league's midseason showcase.
The Los Angeles Lakers star announced that he would miss the mini-tournament about 90 minutes before it was set to start. He was to play for Shaq's OGs, the team drafted by Shaquille O'Neal for the All-Star competition.
James' first All-Star Game was in 2005 and he's been a pick every year since, so Sunday's game would have been his 21st. His 20 consecutive All-Star Game starts is a record. He also holds the record for All-Star selections.
