Lakers' Jose Calderon: Expected to return Sunday

Head coach Luke Walton expects Calderon (calf) to make his season debut in Sunday's matchup with the Thunder, Mike Trudell of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Calderon missed the first two games of the season as he was dealing with a left calf stain. It is still unclear how the veteran point guard will fit in the rotation. Starting point guard D'Angelo Russell figures to continue seeing a high volume of minutes running the show, and sixth man Jordan Clarkson can handle duties running the offense in a reserve role. Minutes may be hard to come by early on for Calderon.
