Lance Stephenson and Jordan Farmar returned to Staples Center on Tuesday night for the first time since those dark days with a different standing in the basketball world. They're now propping up what's left of the Memphis Grizzlies as they try to gird their team for a playoff push.
Farmar started at point guard against the Clippers because regular starter Mike Conley is out for the season with Achilles' tendinitis.
