SAN FRANCISCO — LeBron James' historic run is over.
James, who was slated to play in a record 21st All-Star Game, will sit out with continued left ankle and foot soreness.
His record for consecutive starts ends at 20, as he will miss an All-Star Game for the first time in which he had been chosen to play. He was not tapped in his rookie year.
“I hope to be available Wednesday,” James, 40, said during a news conference before Sunday's game. The Los Angeles Lakers will play the Charlotte Hornets in a game rescheduled because of the California wildfires.
