Jordan Farmar has insisted that the Los Angeles Lakers are not thinking about the return of Kobe Bryant.
The Lakers lost 116-111 to the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night as their inconsistent start to the season continued.
However, when asked if the Lakers were eagerly anticipating Bryant's return in December, Farmar rejected the claims.
"We don't think about it much at all. We have a job to do now, the guys who are in the lineup. Everybody's focused on their responsibility and I think we've done pretty good so far," the point guard told reporters.
"We're still learning and still trying to figure each other out. It's going to be a work in progress even when he does come back, trying to figure out everybody's role."
Bryant has celebrated his impending return to the court by agreeing a new two-year deal with the Lakers.
