Lakers' Jose Calderon: To shift back to bench

Calderon will move back to the bench for Tuesday's game against Denver, Shahan Ahmed of NBC Los Angeles reports.

Analysis:

The Lakers have not explicitly stated that Calderon won't start, but with D'Angelo Russell returning to the lineup, it's all but guaranteed that Calderon will move back into a reserve role after starting the last two games in Russell's place. The 35-year-old failed to produce in both contests, going scoreless on a combined 0-of-6 shooting with three assists and two rebounds. At this point in his career, Calderon holds minimal fantasy value, even in the deepest of formats.
