Jordan Farmar is looking into the possibility of playing in another country during the NBA lockout, he told The Star-Ledger.

Farmar, who is the backup point guard to Deron Williams on the Nets, may end up playing in Israel. The Southern California native is Jewish, and his stepfather is Israeli, which would make him an attractive commodity for teams in the Israeli league.

"Yeah, I'd definitely consider that," Farmar said in a text message when asked if he would be interested in playing in Israel. He added that there is "nothing concrete yet" as far as whether — or where — he may play during the lockout.
