D’Antoni says that Nash, Farmar & Blake looked good today and could possibly be ready to go tomorrow in Minnesota.
— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) February 3, 2014 It looks likely that only Nash and Blake will actually get on the floor against the Timberwolves, as Los Angeles wouldn’t want the 39-year-old Nash to immediately play back-to-back games. Farmar indicated that he could make his return in Cleveland on Wednesday, via ESPN’s Dave McMenamin:
Jordan Farmar says he's not sure about the MIN game. With Nash likely sitting out CLE as a b2b, they could stagger their returns
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) February 3, 2014 Nash has played only six games this season due to back problems, last suiting up on Nov. 10. Blake has been out since Dec. 10, due to a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. Farmar’s been suffering from a tear in his left hamstring, which has kept him sidelined for the vast majority of the new year.
In other Lakers news, the injured Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol will not accompany with the team on its three-game road trip, via McMenamin.
