Team LeBron will have to pick a replacement player for the NBA All-Star Game which will take place on Sunday. According to Keith Pompey, James Harden will not participate in the event as he continues rehabilitating his left hamstring.

It would have been his tenth NBA All-Star Game for the 32-year-old superstar shooting guard. The rehabilitation will also delay his debut with the Philadelphia 76ers.
