LeBron Snubbed as NBA All-Star Starter for First Time Since 2004
LeBron James’ streak ends after 21 consecutive seasons as an NBA All-Star starter due to missed games and lower stats, though coaches may still select him as a reserve.
- On February 15, LeBron James, the 41-year-old NBA icon, was not named an All-Star starter at the Los Angeles Clippers' Intuit Dome, ending his streak since 2004.
- Injury and reduced scoring this season contributed to LeBron James failing to secure enough fan votes after missing the opening 14 games with sciatica and three more matches.
- Chosen by fans, players and media, the starters include Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Stephen Curry, Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama in the West.
- Despite the omission, LeBron James remains likely to earn a coaches' reserve spot for the All-Star Game, signaling an end of an era for the league's longest-tenured player and all-time scoring leader.
- The weekend's centrepiece is a three-team round-robin featuring two United States teams and a World squad, with four 12-minute contests and a championship game this year.
