Point guard Jose Calderon will be out for two to three weeks due to a right calf strain, the New York Knicks said Thursday.
Calderon, who missed the Knicks’ final two preseason games, was a late scratch before the season opener Wednesday after he aggravated the injury during warmups. An MRI revealed the strain.
With Calderon out, the Knicks have two point guards on their roster. Second-year player Shane Larkin is expected to start Thursday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. They also have 37-year-old Pablo Prigioni.
The Knicks lost their opener to the Chicago Bulls, 104-80.
