Jordan Farmar to have surgery Wednesday, Dec. 24
Lakers point guard Jordan Farmar has decided to have surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, the Lakers announced this afternoon.
The procedure will be performed by Dr. Clarence Shields of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Group. A Lakers spokesman said the
team will announce an estimated time for Farmar’s return after the surgery.
On Monday, after Farmar saw two doctors who both recommended surgery, Lakers Coach Phil Jackson speculated that the timetable for Farmar’s return could be up to six to eight weeks. “We’re looking at a time period that’s significant,” Jackson said.
Farmar was injured late in the fourth quarter of Friday night’s game in Miami after he stole the ball and went in for a layup.
He was averaging 7.9 points and 2.4 assists in 19.6 minutes.
