Wed Feb 5 2014 | 21:02 | Jordan Farmar returns after left calf injury |
Jordan Farmar suffered a left calf injury in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game and returned to the game. |
He was playing fantastic ball tonight and this injury is on the same side as his bum hamstring which kept him out for all of 2014 to this point. Farmar was in some serious pain as he went to the bench and was wearing a wrap around his calf and he'll likely have to battle through some pain in this game. We'll update his status as the info becomes available. |

Wed Feb 5 2014 | 17:36 | Jordan Farmar will start on Wednesday night |
Updating a previous item, Jordan Farmar will indeed start against the Cavs on Wednesday night. |
It makes sense to put Farmar with first string while Kendall Marshall adapts to playing with the second unit. Farmar will undoubtedly be on a minutes limit tonight in his first game of 2014. Farmar is worth a look in deeper leagues. |

Wed Feb 5 2014 | 15:10 | Jordan Farmar could get the start on Wed. |
Jordan Farmar may start at point guard against the Cavs on Wednesday night. |
He would join Steve Blake, Wes Johnson, Robert Kelly and Robert Sacre. With Jodie Meeks (ankle) out of the lineup and Steve Nash resting, Farmar should get his share of playing time with Kendall Marshall likely to get a few more minutes tonight. Blake will pick up plenty of minutes at shooting guard. |

Tue Feb 4 2014 | 12:31 | Jordan Farmar will dress Tuesday night |
Jordan Farmer (hamstring) will be in uniform and available for Tuesday's game against Minnesota. |
The plan is to limit Farmar's minutes Tuesday night as Steve Nash returns and then to up his minutes against the Cavaliers on Wednesday when Nash sits. The Lakers backcourt is about to get extremely crowded with the return of Nash, Farmar, and Steve Blake. Kendall Marshall owners should be a bit worried, but will want to wait to see how minutes are doled out before making any rash moves. |

Mon Feb 3 2014 | 15:33 | Farmar, Nash and Blake possibly to play Tues. |
Jordan Farmar (hamstring), Steve Blake (elbow) and Steve Nash are a "possibility" to play against the Wolves on Tuesday, according to coach Mike D'Antoni. |
Farmar is the biggest surprise of the trio while the other two are not really an update from what was said on Sunday. The Lakers go from having only Kendall Marshall as a point guard to now having four, so it should be interesting to see how D'Antoni splits up his minutes. Marshall is going to lose minutes, but his owners might want to see how it plays out unless there's a hot free agent out there. |

Sun Feb 2 2014 | 16:16 | Jordan Farmar goes through practice on Sunday |
Jordan Farmar (hamstring) went through a full practice on Sunday. |
He is still expected to be out at least a week and is behind fellow point guards Steve Nash and Steve Blake, according to team reporter Mike Trudell. Farmar's minutes will undoubtedly be held in check upon his return, so it's likely going to be at least a few weeks before he can consistently play in the mid 20s. |

Fri Jan 31 2014 | 14:53 | Jordan Farmar unlikely for Tuesday night |
Jordan Farmar (hamstring) is unlikely for Tuesday's game against the Wolves, according to coach Mike D'Antoni. |
He's been out for all of 2014 after his second hamstring strain in December. Farmar has already been taking contact at practice and will likely be a key piece with the second unit. He was really filling it up before going down, so he'll be worth watching upon his return. |

Thu Jan 30 2014 | 15:39 | Jordan Farmar (hamstring) practicing fully |
Jordan Farmar (hamstring) returned to full-contact practice on Thursday. |
Mike D'Antoni said on Jan. 23 that Farmar would miss another 2-3 weeks. He's already aggravated his hamstring twice this season and a cautious approach to his return makes sense, but it seems as though he'll easily beat D'Antoni's timetable. Unfortunately, his fantasy value is stifled with Kendall Marshall playing well and both Steve Nash (back) and Steve Blake (elbow) nearing a return. |

Mon Jan 27 2014 | 16:21 | Jordan Farmar (hamstring) ramping up work |
Jordan Farmar (hamstring) was ramping up his workout at practice on Monday. |
He is believed to be a couple weeks away and the team will likely give him another ultrasound to check on the progress of his injury at some point. Considering he had two hamstring strains in December, the Lakers will likely take it easy on him upon his return. Steve Blake will likely beat him back and seems like a better stash at this point. |

Thu Jan 23 2014 | 18:46 | Jordan Farmar (hamstring) 2-3 weeks away |
Jordan Farmar (hamstring) is still 2-3 weeks away from returning, according to coach Mike D'Antoni. |
Farmar was originally expected to return in mid-February so this isn't a setback. The good news for L.A. is that Steve Nash could return as soon as Tuesday, and the clock for Kendall Marshall's fantasy value is ticking louder every day. |

Thu Jan 9 2014 | 18:15 | Jordan Farmar (hamstring) takes set shots |
Jordan Farmar did some spot shooting on Thursday for the first time since re-tearing his left hamstring. |
He's approximately three weeks away from returning and in the meantime Kendall Marshall will continue starting at PG, where he's averaged 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 11.5 assists in L.A.'s past four games. |

Thu Jan 2 2014 | 16:33 | Jordan Farmar (hamstring) gets PRP injection |
Jordan Farmar had a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left hamstring on Thursday and he will be sidelined approximately four weeks. |
This tear in his hammy was six inches higher than his previous injury, from which he'd just returned on Christmas Day. Kendall Marshall will start at PG in his absence, and by the time Farmar returns the Lakers may also have Steve Blake and/or Steve Nash in uniform. |

Wed Jan 1 2014 | 00:44 | Jordan Farmar (hamstring) won't return Tues. |
Jordan Farmar will not return to Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to tightness in his left hamstring. |
He will have an ultrasound on Wednesday and his hamstring and the Lakers can't catch a break at point guard. Farmar makes it the fifth starting point guard to suffer an injury after Steve Nash, Steve Blake, Xavier Henry and Kobe Bryant have all gone down. He did not score in 20 minutes with four rebounds, seven assists and one turnover. Kendall Marshall would likely take over should Farmar need to miss time. |

Tue Dec 31 2013 | 21:02 | Jordan Farmar (hamstring) is playing vs Bucks |
Jordan Farmar (hamstring) is playing against the Bucks, as expected. |
His hamstring injury was a little tight and the Lakers might have to manage his minutes a little. Kendall Marshall might get his biggest opportunity tonight with Wes Johnson (illness) and Xavier Henry out tonight. |

Mon Dec 30 2013 | 15:59 | Jordan Farmar doesn't practice on Monday |
Jordan Farmar (hamstring) did not practice on Monday due to tightness in his left hamstring. |
He missed three weeks due to some tearing in his hamstring before his return on Christmas Day, so some tightness is to be expected. Farmar said he should play against the Bucks and should remain in fantasy lineups. He's worth owning in all standard formats. |

Sat Dec 28 2013 | 01:24 | Jordan Farmar plays well in second start |
Jordan Farmar turned it around on Friday night against the Jazz, scoring 16 points with seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes. |
This is what owners were expecting and not the three-point dud on Christmas. The Jazz are dead last in defensive efficiency, but at least Farmar was still able to turn in a big game. He's worth owning in all standard formats with no competition behind him. |

Wed Dec 25 2013 | 20:08 | Jordan Farmar struggles in return on Xmas |
Jordan Farmar returned from his hamstring strain on Wednesday and played 33 minutes, shooting 1-of-7 from the field for three points, five boards, two assists and four turnovers. |
He wasn't expected to see a full complement of minutes tonight, but still ranked second on the team behind Jodie Meeks' 38. Farmar should have better days ahead and will likely have the ball in his hands on the vast majority of LA's possessions. He shoots the three, can get some steals and should hand out nice assists totals, which makes him a strong pickup in standard leagues. |

Tue Dec 24 2013 | 15:04 | Jordan Farmar (hamstring) ready to play Wed. |
Jordan Farmar's ultrasound revealed that his torn hamstring has completely healed, setting the stage for his return on Wednesday. |
Farmar is expected to jump into the starting PG spot which Xavier Henry has been filling out of necessity. He was on a tear in late November before getting injured, and fantasy owners should grab him off the waiver wire now that he's in sole possession of the starting job. |
