Lakers' Farmar suffers another hamstring injury

Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will miss a minimum of four weeks after sustaining a torn left hamstring, the team announced Wednesday.

The injury was diagnosed after an ultrasound and an examination by Dr. Luga Podesta on Wednesday morning. Farmar was hurt in Tuesday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

The tear is not in the same location in his left hamstring as a similar injury he suffered on Dec. 1 that caused him to miss 3 1/2 weeks (10 games).

Farmar's injury leaves the Lakers with Kendall Marshall as their only healthy point guard. Guards Nick Young and Jodie Meeks also will help at the point during Farmar's absence.

The 27-year-old Farmar is averaging 8.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists this season.
