Knicks' Jose Calderon: Will return Thursday from groin injury

Calderon, who missed four consecutive games due to a groin injury, will return Thursday against the Pistons, Ian Begley of ESPN.com reports.

It's currently unclear whether or not Calderon will immediately be back in the starting lineup, as Knicks coach Derek Fisher may have to limit his minutes while he eases into a return. Langston Galloway would get the start if Fisher leans towards a cautious route with Calderon.
