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.

1. Who is going to take his place? Bronny?

[Botany]

2. He is 40 years old playing an NBA schedule and playing great too

His job is to bring the Lakers together and have them playing into the hot months. The players
should be glad he is there. He should be @ home or some kind of P.T. center where his job is to
be chill-lex-innn.

News flash … he is very good.
