Because after all, All-Star stats > winning actual games.
That's because the all star game is 'practice' and there's almost zero risk of injury when compared to a regular season game. Not to say there isn't but it's legitimately and substantially lower. Odds are he plays mon or wed before the break (probably wed) and slowly works himself back into better shape by 2/20. So no reason he can't play a few minutes worth of exhibition for his sake...
