Calderon and the Lakers are working on a buyout, and then his next move would be to take a physical and join the Warriors, according to a source, Monte Poole of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran fell out of the rotation with the Lakers, so it's unlikely he will have a huge impact with the defending Western Conference champions unless injuries occur. Calderon is basically just being added for depth in case of emergency and his fantasy appeal will remain limited to deeper leagues.

Calderon (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in a 116-108 loss to the Wizards on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Calderon started two of the three games at point guard when D'Angelo Russell was recently sidelined with knee and calf injuries, but the veteran point guard has dropped back out of the rotation with Russell available for the last two contests. The 35-year-old is averaging just 3.5 points, 2.1 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game over his 23 appearances in what may be the final season of his career. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer.

Calderon will move back to the bench for Tuesday's game against Denver, Shahan Ahmed of NBC Los Angeles reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Lakers have not explicitly stated that Calderon won't start, but with D'Angelo Russell returning to the lineup, it's all but guaranteed that Calderon will move back into a reserve role after starting the last two games in Russell's place. The 35-year-old failed to produce in both contests, going scoreless on a combined 0-of-6 shooting with three assists and two rebounds. At this point in his career, Calderon holds minimal fantasy value, even in the deepest of formats.

Calderon will start at point guard for Wednesday's matchup against the Trail Blazers, Mike Trudell of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Lakers are opting to go with Calderon instead of rookie Brandon Ingram at point while D'Angelo Russel is sidelined. Calderon has seen his minutes increase the last two games, so the move is somewhat unsurprising. The veteran guard is averaging 6.0 points, 2.7 boards, and 3.7 assists in nine starts this season.

Calderon finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt) with six assists, a rebound and a steal over 19 minutes off the bench in Friday's 108-96 win against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Calderon might continue to see increased playing time if D'Angelo Russell is forced to miss time due to the MCL sprain he suffered Friday. The 35-year-old played his most minutes since Nov. 25. While he might see more playing time, he still has just one double-digit point performance this season. He is only worth a look in the deepest of fantasy leagues at this point of his career.

Calderon was held scoreless (0-1 FG) and added one rebound across five minutes in a 134-94 loss to the Spurs on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Calderon has long been recovered from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for a large portion of December, but the aging point guard isn't on track to land a rotation spot on a rebuilding Lakers squad. He's logged only garbage-time minutes during blowouts in three of the Lakers' last four games and will need an injury to D'Angelo Russell or Jordan Clarkson in order to gain court time in more competitive contests.

Calderon (hamstring) will be active for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Calderon and Tarik Black (hip) were both active Sunday against the Clippers while Larry Nance (knee) and a healthy Metta World Peace occupied the Lakers' two inactive slots, but coach Luke Walton didn't turn to either off the bench, citing the game situation and both players' lack of activity over the past few weeks as reasons behind the decision. Even when he wasn't recovering from the right hamstring strain, Calderon failed to see consistent time behind starting point guard D'Angelo Russell and primary backup Jordan Clarkson, so it could be several more games before the veteran gets a look in Walton's rotation.

Calderon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Calderon has been sidelined since Dec. 5 with the strained right hamstring, but looks to be on the cusp of a return, as he was able to put in a rigorous workout Friday. Coach Luke Walton noted after the session that Calderon would still need to go through some practice before getting cleared to play, so it's more likely than not that he'll remain out Sunday. However, he could make his return at some point during the coming week, though it's uncertain if he'll be a regular part of Walton's rotation.

Lakers coach Luke Walton said Friday that Calderon (hamstring) is close to returning to full practice, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Calderon was able to get in a workout in advance of Friday's tilt with the Magic and looks to be making some progress in his recovery from the right hamstring strain, but he'll still remained sidelined until at least the team's Christmas Day tilt with the Clippers. Now that D'Angelo Russell is healthy again, Calderon will likely find himself third on the depth chart at point guard behind Russell and Jordan Clarkson once he returns, which means Calderon could be held out of Walton's rotation in most games.

Calderon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Heat, Mark Medina of L.A. Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been just under three weeks since Calderon suffered his hamstring injury, so he's nearing the back end of his original projected timetable for a return. Calderon reportedly was able to do some running and shooting drills earlier in the week and hopes to be available in the near future, but he won't be ready Thursday, as he's officially been ruled out. His next opportunity to take the court will be Friday, in the second game of the Lakers' current back-to-back set, so look for another update on his status prior to that matchup.
