Lakers star LeBron James has been upgraded to questionable for Los Angeles' Friday night game at Boston.

James, 36, has been recovering from a rectus abdominis strain.

The 17-time All-Star has been sidelined for the Lakers last eight games, including a 109-102 loss at Milwaukee on Wednesday. The Lakers have lost three of their last four games and five of eight overall since James last set foot on the court in a Nov. 2 win over Houston.

James is averaging 24.8 points, 7.0 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game in six contests. The points average is a career low since his rookie season in 2003-04.

Anthony Davis (thigh contusion) is probable to play against the Celtics.
