LeBron James says the NBA's plans to stage an All-Star Game amid the coronavirus pandemic is a slap in the face for players.

Reports suggest the game could be arranged to be played on 7th March in Atalanta, having initially been cancelled before the season started.

The Los Angeles Lakers star said players had been looking forward to some time off after a short off-season.

James adds he has zero energy and zero excitement about an All-Star Game.
