The Los Angeles Lakers are currently riding a two-game winning streak after the return of Steve Nash, but still have a few players dealing with injuries moving forward.
According to Eric Pincus of the L.A. Times, the Lakers could be without Jordan Farmar through the All-Star due to a persistent hamstring injury:

Along with Farmar back on the shelf once again with the hamstring issue, Jodie Meeks will be out through the All-Star break with an ankle sprain:

Farmar and Meeks will join Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Nick Young and Xavier Henry on the team’s list of injured players.
Fortunately, the return of Nash and Steve Blake the lineup has helped turned things around for the team with two straight wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers.
It remains to be seen of the veteran point guards can continue to keep this team winning games, but the impact of their presence on the floor has been felt.
