Whole again (updated)

Jordan Farmar returned to the Lakers' active roster for today's game against the San Antonio Spurs at Staples Center, one month and one day after undergoing surgery to repair meniscus damage in his left knee. Lakers coach Phil Jackson was uncertain before the game whether Farmar would play, but said he believed he could if needed.

UPDATE: Farmar entered the game at the start of the second quarter, his first action since he injured his knee in the Lakers' loss to the Miami Heat on Dec. 19.

The Lakers were without Farmar, Luke Walton (right foot), Lamar Odom (right knee) and Sasha Vujacic (back) for a short period two weeks ago. Odom and Vujacic returned to the active roster first, followed by Walton and now Farmar.
