Knicks coach Derek Fisher confirmed Calderon (Achilles) will start at point guard in Wednesday's preseason opener against Brazilian team Bauru Basket, Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Achilles' injury spelled an early end to Calderon's 2014-15 season, but with a full offseason to recover, he'll be back in action to direct the Knicks offense. Team president Phil Jackson said earlier in the summer that he anticipates Calderon will see minutes in the upper-20s this season, with second-year man Langston Galloway and rookie Jerian Grant occasionally relieving him at point guard. Calderon averaged 9.1 points and 4.7 assists over 42 games with the Knicks last season.
