Calderon had 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 115-107 win versus the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Calderon didn't commit a single turnover, and is posting decent averages of seven points, 4.2 assists, and 2.6 rebounds in 29 minutes over the last five games. Knicks' interim coach Kurt Rambis has been feeding Calderon plenty of minutes lately, but he is still best reserved for use in deeper leagues.

Calderon (ankle) compiled three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, and one steal over 33 minutes in Sunday's 88-80 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Calderon was able to shake off the ankle ailment he suffered in Saturday's loss to the Wizards to play 30-plus minutes for the fourth time in six games, but has been a common refrain this season, he failed to provide much of an impact. He's scored in double figures just five times since the All-Star break and has only one double-digit assist effort on the campaign.

Calderon (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against the Kings, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calderon suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's game against the Wizards. Although he still played 24 minutes and produced 10 points, his status until now was in question. It is unclear how much he will play, but his availability is a good sign for an injured Knicks squad. If he doesn't play a lot, look for Arron Afflalo and Langston Galloway to control the Knicks backcourt.

Calderon sprained his ankle during the second quarter of Saturday's loss at Washington, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calderon was still able to gut out 24 minutes of action, during which he contributed 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two assists, and one rebound. Afterward, he said that he'll test the ankle before Sunday's tilt against the Kings, implying that he'll be a game-time call.

Calderon will start Saturday's game against the Wizards, Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calderon missed much of the second half of the Knicks' last game Wednesday versus Golden State due to a calf injury, but the issue is only minor and it does not appear that he'll be limited Saturday. Calderon played only 15 minutes Wednesday, finishing with two points and two rebounds.

Calderon scored 20 points (6-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go with four rebounds, four assists, and a steal over 33 minutes in a 108-105 loss to the Pacers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After interim coach Kurt Rambis hinted that Calderon may not be long for the team's starting lineup, the 34-year-old posted one of his best performances of the season. On the heels of a dismal even-game stretch in which he averaged 6.4 points with 0.4 steals, Calderon reached 20 points for just the second time all season. While Wednesday's performance likely earned him a temporary reprieve from demotion talks, Calderon will need sustained performance to maintain minutes over Langston Galloway, Jerian Grant, or Jimmer Fredette.

Interim coach Kurt Rambis said that Calderon would remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
After Calderon was limited to zero points and two assists across 19 minutes in Monday's 122-95 loss to the Raptors, Rambis suggested that the point guard could be bumped from his starting role, but it looks like the Knicks won't switch things up just yet. Monday's poor outing was far from unusual for Calderon, who is averaging a measly 7.3 points and four assists over 27.5 minutes in 54 games this season, making him one of the league's least effective starting point guards. If Calderon fails to elevate his production Wednesday, he could end up getting replaced in the starting five by Langston Galloway.

Knicks coach Kurt Rambis intimated Tuesday that Calderon could be moved to the bench, Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nothing is official at this point, but it appears as though Rambis is considering shaking things up amidst the Knicks' current skid. Calderon played only 19 minutes in Monday's blowout loss to Toronto at home, going scoreless (0-2 FG) and finishing with two assists and two rebounds. It's unclear who would potentially start in place of Calderon, but Langston Galloway would look to be the primary candidate.

Calderon scored 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1) to go along with eight rebounds, five assists and a steal in 35 minutes on Friday in a loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Calderon got himself officially reacquainted within the offense after seeing his first major load of minutes since returning from injury. With Carmelo Anthony sitting out, more Knicks were called upon to pick up the scoring load and Calderon answered the bell. Friday was a unique situation for the Knicks and it doesn't appear that Calderon will see the same success moving forward. Langston Galloway played major minutes when Calderon was injured and he may be provided more opportunities in the near future.

Calderon will return to the starting lineup Thursday night against the Pistons according to head coach Derek Fisher.
EDGE Analysis
Calderon, who has missed the past four games due to a groin injury, will return as the Knicks' starting point guard. Langston Galloway, who had taken over the role in Calderon's absence, will now return to the bench. Calderon could see his minutes as the starter slightly monitored Thursday night.
