Ex-Warrior Calderon claimed off waivers by Eastern Conference team

Jose Calderon has found a new home.

After being signed and waived in the span of two hours on Wednesday evening, the veteran point guard has been claimed by the Atlanta Hawks, the team announced Saturday afternoon.

News of the waiver claim was first reported by The Vertical.

Calderon was targeted by the Warriors prior to Kevin Durant's knee injury. Once the All-Star forward went down in Washington, the Warriors needed a forward.

Out went Calderon. In came former Warrior and free agent Matt Barnes.

With the Hawks claiming Calderon, the Warriors are not responsible for the remainder of his contract, according to The Vertical.
