That&#8217;s partly because LeBron&#8217;s numbers are slightly lower than usual, but the main reason is that he missed 14 games to begin the season and then took some time to ramp up after not having a training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, James has been playing at an All-Star level for the Lakers for weeks now and was rewarded by being voted in as a reserve by the coaches.<\/p>\n<p>After learning of his selection, LeBron expressed how grateful he is to be a 22-time All-Star:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;Blessed.

The coaches voted, right? So mad respect to the coaches and them seeing that I&#8217;m still playing well at this latter stage of my career. To be able to an All-Star, that means a lot to my family, the people that&#8217;s been following my career, my LeBron faithful who have been following my journey. I don&#8217;t know, man. It&#8217;s always rewarding just from a humble standpoint to be able to be rewarded for what you put your work into. So it&#8217;s pretty cool.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The 2026 NBA All-Star Game is set for Sunday, Feb. 15 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, so James will not have to travel very far to play. He will be joined by fellow Lakers star Luka Doncic, who was the leading vote-getter by fans and <a href=\"https:\/\/lakersnation.com\/lakers-news-luka-doncic-grateful-to-be-leading-vote-getter-in-2026-nba-all-star-game\/\">made it in as a starter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With the league switching to a three-team USA vs. World format for this year&#8217;s game though, James and Doncic will be on separate squads competing against each other, which could make for a fun event.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"lebron-james-unbothered-by-all-star-starting-streak-ending\">LeBron James unbothered by All-Star starting streak ending<\/h2>\n<p>This marks the first time James has been named an All-Stsr but won&#8217;t be in the starting lineup, something he <a href=\"https:\/\/lakersnation.com\/lakers-news-lebron-james-unbothered-by-nba-all-star-game-starting-streak-ending\/\">wasn&#8217;t concerned about<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNah. None at all,&#8221; James said a few weeks ago when asked if he had a reaction to not being named a starter.<\/p>\n<p>When further questioned though, LeBron said he would love to be voted in as a reserve, but again, wasn&#8217;t concerned if he didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m always grateful. I\u2019m always grateful, for sure. If I\u2019m there, I\u2019ll be there in attendance.
