Tatum had 27 of his points during the third quarter, another All-Star Game record for any period. It’s always great to have an opportunity to try new formats, new ways to spice up the game, spice up the viewership and things of that nature.” But James was not planning on playing big minutes anyway – saying pregame he wouldn’t “go crazy” in his 19th All-Star appearance with an ailing left foot injury – and the moment seemed as apt a reason as any to remove James from any risk of further incident. Denver’s Nikola Jokic, the two-time defending MVP who could win a third this season, essentially picked himself by walking over to James when it was down to him and Utah forward Lauri Markkanen. Giannis Antetokounmpo played barely at all himself, dunking on the first possession of the game, then committing a take foul 20 seconds in to get subbed out. So while James was ruled out of the second half of the NBA’s premier exhibition with a right hand bruise, it might be rightly taken with a grain of salt as more precautionary than substantial.
