Jose Calderon (triceps) will not play Monday against the Sixers.
There has been some talk about Calderon sitting out for the rest of the season and there's certainly a chance he'll sit out in Wednesday's finale. He's not worth owning in almost any league right now. Despite Rodney Stuckey struggling on Friday, he should be viewed as a strong start along with Brandon Knight. Apr 14 - 1:15 PM

Beat writer Vince Ellis suggests Jose Calderon (triceps) could be done for the season.

Calderon won't play on Friday night, and the Pistons have just two more games after that. As an impending unrestricted free agent, Calderon certainly won't be pushing it at less than 100 percent.
Apr 12 - 3:23 PM

Jose Calderon (triceps) will not play on Friday vs. Charlotte.

Calderon will miss his third straight game. Brandon Knight will be counted out to play big minutes again, while Rodney Stuckey should get a sizable boost in minutes as well. Will Bynum, who is still working his way back from a hand injury, should also see a small boost off the bench.

Jose Calderon (arm) will not play on Wednesday against the Cavs.

The Pistons have been hinting that they'll sit Calderon down until he's much closer to 100 percent. Considering he's already been ruled out for Wednesday's game, it's reasonable to believe he isn't close. After Wednesday, the Pistons have just three games left in the season. When Calderon sat out on Sunday, Rodney Stuckey posted a 14/5/2 line in 35 minutes. Will Bynum had just four points and five assists in 17 minutes off the bench.

Coach Lawrence Frank promised to exercise caution with Jose Calderon's triceps strain.

Calderon has missed two of the Pistons' last four games. "What we're not going to do is yo-yo him back and forth," coach Lawrence Frank said. "We want to get it right before he comes back." That's an ominous quote ahead of Wednesday's game in Cleveland. The damage is on Calderon's shooting arm and the Pistons have just four games left in the season.

Jose Calderon (arm) will not play against the Bulls on Sunday and Rodney Stuckey will start.

He returned to the lineup on Saturday and played 27 minutes, but the back-to-back set might have been too much for him. He should be good to go for Wednesday's game in Cleveland, though. Rodney Stuckey is basically a must-start option even against Tom Thibodeau's stout defense.
Apr 7 - 6:14 PM

Jose Calderon (elbow) returned on Saturday, scoring six points with two rebounds, four assists and three steals in 27 minutes.

Calderon's status has been a strange sub-plot in a week filled to the brim with injuries. In the end, it seems his "tendon" problem was actually a strained triceps, something he should be able to play through the rest of the way.
Apr 6 - 11:03 PM

Jose Calderon will play against the Timberwolves on Saturday, according to coach Lawrence Frank.

He missed Wednesday's game against the Celtics with a triceps strain and was listed as probable for tonight's game. Rodney Stuckey was productive in a start Wednesday, but he should still have some level of success off the bench. Calderon is a must-start and Stuckey could be useful in standard leagues.
Apr 6 - 6:37 PM

Jose Calderon's MRI revealed a triceps strain and he is probable to play on Saturday, while Brandon Knight had his broken nose reset and he's also probable to take on Minnesota.

Calderon was set to be reevaluated, and this is just about a best-case scenario for the veteran point guard who shouldn't wind up missing any more time. As for Knight, he won't be forced to miss any time.
Apr 5 - 1:20 PM

Updating a previous report, Jose Calderon missed Wednesday's game due to "upper arm irritation" and he will be re-evaluated on Thursday.

He struggled late in Sunday's game with what was called a "tendon" issue, shot the lights out on Monday, and was a very late scratch vs. the Celtics on Wednesday. Owners should sit tight and await updates -- if he misses any more games, Rodney Stuckey and Brandon Knight will get heavy minutes in the Pistons' starting lineup.
Apr 3 - 10:59 PM

Jose Calderon (sore right arm) will not play in Wednesday's game vs. the Celtics.

Go figure. Calderon had a reported "tendon" issue toward the end of Sunday's game, but he played on Monday and dropped 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting. We're calling him day-to-day, though the lottery-bound Pistons don't have any incentive to hurry him back onto the court. Rodney Stuckey will start in his absence and is worth picking up while we await updates on Jose's condition.
Apr 3 - 7:35 PM

Jose Calderon torched his former team in his return to Toronto on Monday, shooting 8-of-12 from the field for 19 points with one board, nine assists, one steal, one 3-pointer and one turnover in 43 minutes.

The Raptors put together a video tribute and fans gave him about a 30-second standing ovation. Calderon was one of the best guards to sport a Raptors uniform and he's the league leader in assists-to-turnover ratio this season. He had a minor arm injury entering the game, but there's nothing to worry about here. Keep him in your lineup.
Apr 1 - 9:28 PM

Jose Calderon said that his arm injury from Sunday's game is "all good" and will not limit him this week.

Calderon had a "tendon" issue and had difficulty shooting in the final minutes of Detroit's last game, but apparently it was a false alarm. Use him as you have been.
Apr 1 - 5:30 PM

Coach Lawrence Frank said Jose Calderon couldn't shoot during the final minutes of Sunday's loss because of a right arm injury.

Frank obviously didn't consider the injury serious as Calderon never left the floor. But the term "tendon" is getting thrown around, so it's something worth watching. The Pistons play at Toronto at 7 p.m. ET on Monday.
Mar 31 - 11:54 PM

Jose Calderon played 32 minutes and hit 5-of-9 shots and two 3-pointers for 14 points in Tuesday's ugly loss against the Wolves, but had just one assist.

He was matched up against fellow countryman Ricky Rubio tonight, and Rubio clearly got the best of him with 14 points, nine assists, two steals and two 3-pointers on 6-of-9 shooting. Both players look like must-starts in fantasy the rest of the way, despite Calderon's lack of dimes tonight. He had 18 points, seven assists and three 3-pointers on Friday against the Heat.
