An MRI exam confirmed Lakers point guard Jose Calderon’s right hamstring strain, and he will be out for two to four weeks.
That’s the bad news for the Lakers.
Some better news might come Tuesday. Starting point guard D’Angelo Russell will have his knee re-evaluated, almost two weeks from when he was given a platelet-rich plasma injection to help heal it. He was initially scheduled to meet with the doctor on Monday, but the appointment was moved due to a scheduling conflict.
Russell could return to on-court work as the next step in his rehab after that exam.
