Jose Calderon will be in a Detroit Pistons uniform for the first time Monday night on the road against the New York Knicks.
The newly acquired point guard couldn't make his Pistons debut until issues with his work visa were worked out. The problem was that Calderon is a Spanish citizen who was working on a
Canadian visa, and that wouldn't translate to the U.S.
Those issues are now resolved, and he'll be in royal blue and crimson at Madison Square Garden.
Pistons guard @josemcalderon8 cleared to play, will make debut tonight at MSG against the Knicks.
