Doctors recommend surgery for Jordan Farmar

Lakers guard Jordan Farmar, who suffered an injury to his left knee in Friday night's game at Miami, was examined by Lakers' team doctor Steve Lombardo today in Los Angeles. In seeking an additional opinion, Farmar also was examined by Dr. Byron Patterson.

Both doctors concurred with the original diagnosis of a torn lateral meniscus, and have recommended surgery.

Farmar is currently weighing his options, and the Lakers will issue an update when he has made a decision.
