LeBron James will not be playing in the 2025 All-Star Game, a decision he waited until just about the last minute to announce. James is dealing with discomfort in his ankle and foot, and as such, he won't be taking the floor for Team Shaq.
His decision to opt-out just hours before the All-Star tournament is set to get underway didn't sit well with some fans and media members, including TNT's analyst panel of Jalen Rose, Vince Carter and Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green.
