The Golden State Warriors signed point guard Jose Calderon on Wednesday after he agreed to a buyout with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to the Warriors public relations department.
However, Calderon isn't expected to ever suit up for the defending Western Conference champions. The team announced Kevin Durant suffered an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his left leg on Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards, and his injury created a need for a versatile small forward.
With that in mind, the Warriors plan to waive Calderon and use the open roster spot to sign free-agent swingman Matt Barnes, according to ESPN.
