James is not playing in the NBA All-Star game because he wants to rest.
NBA superstar LeBron James is sitting out the 2019 NBA All-Star game. The decision has left many people scratching their heads, but James has his reasons. He’s also been criticized for not being more open about those reasons, but here’s what we know about why James isn’t playing in the All-Star game.
Why isn’t Lebron playing?
The 2019 NBA All-Star game is taking place on February 17th and will be played at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. It’s a popular event that brings together some of the best players from around the league for a night of fun and celebration. However, this year’s event will be missing one key player: LeBron James.
LeBron James has announced that he will not play in this year’s NBA All-Star game because he wants to rest. This announcement came as a surprise to many people, as James had been voted into the starting lineup by fans and coaches alike.
Is LeBron resting or injured?
There have been rumors circulating that LeBron may be injured, but this hasn’t been confirmed by anyone at this time. However, there are other factors that could have contributed to his decision not to play.
- James is 34 years old and has played in all 82 games for five straight seasons now. He’s also averaging 36 minutes per game during that time period.
- James’ Cavaliers are currently 12th place in their conference with a record of 19 wins and 25 losses so far this season. They’re also 6 games behind first place Milwaukee with just 31 games left on their schedule.
So while it might seem strange for an athlete who is known for his competitiveness to take himself out of an event like this one when it comes down to crunch time (pun intended), there are reasons behind it beyond resting up for next season or giving other players a chance to shine.
