Lakers News: Jose Calderon out 2-4 weeks with hamstring strain

Okay, this is just getting comical. The two most dangerous jobs in sports, apparently, are “Los Angeles Lakers Point Guard” and “Minnesota Vikings Offensive Lineman”. According the the Lakers, an MRI showed a hamstring strain serious enough to declare Jose Calderon out for at least two weeks and up to a month.

This was always the risk when D’Angelo Russell received his PRP treatment, forcing Calderon into a role his body simply might not have been ready for at this stage of his career. Russell’s knee procedure was supposed to keep him out anywhere from two to three weeks, and today marks the two-week timeframe.
