Knicks' Calderon suffers knee contusion vs. Magic
Anthony Gruppuso / USA Today Sports
The New York Knicks, remarkably, picked up a third consecutive win Friday against the Orlando Magic, but they had to close things out without starting point guard Jose Calderon.
Calderon left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury after colliding with two Magic players and had to be helped to the locker room. He was reportedly unable to put any pressure on his left leg, and did not return.
The injury was later diagnosed as a knee contusion, and subsequent X-rays came back negative.
