LeBron James will play Friday night against the Boston Celtics after missing the last eight games because of an abdominal strain, the Lakers announced.
Lakers coach Frank Vogel said James would be a game-time decision about 90 minutes before tip-off. However, after James was seen working out before the Lakers played at Milwaukee on Wednesday night, it appeared likely he would be able to play against the Celtics.
The Lakers have gone 3-5 since James went down Nov. 2 in a game against the Houston Rockets at Staples Center. At the time, James was expected to be out at least a week.
Before James, who will turn 37 next month, was injured, he was first in team scoring average (24.8 points per game) and second in rebounding (7.0).
