Miami Heat point guard Dwyane Wade had claimed that he will be starting for the Eastern Conference in the NBA All-Star game.
Wade was voted by fans to start the game, but he has struggled recently with a foot problem that caused him to miss the Heat's game against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
"I'll play," Wade told reporters "We'll just talk about how much.
"We had a small conversation and we're going to have more as the weekend goes on."
The All-Star game takes place on Sunday night in New Orleans.
