The Chicago Bulls man was influential in getting the decision to not fund GB Basketball overturned and this could be a blow to the chances of future funding.
The funding is based on the success of the national team and the loss of their best player could be a hammer blow to the chances of progression.
Deng told BBC Sport at the All-Star Game Deng said: 'I haven't made the decision 100% [but] most likely I'm not [playing]'.
Since Deng's GB debut in 2007 he has been extremely busy with NBA games, Eurobaskets, friendlies and of course the Olympics so the rest would be well-earned, however it could jeopardise Team GB's hopes.
