Calderon was claimed off waivers by the Hawks on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran was let go by the Lakers last week and initially had an agreement to join the Warriors, but the team ultimately opted to go in another direction. As a result, Calderon hit waivers, and he'll now join the Hawks on a contract that will likely span the remainder of the season. At 35 years old, Calderon's best years are in the rear-view, but he's lauded as a strong veteran presence and is a career 41.1 percent shooter from beyond the arc. Expect Calderon to serve as Atlanta's third point guard, likely seeing most of his minutes in garbage time situations. Per Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Calderon is expected to be in uniform Sunday against Indiana.
