The Toronto Raptors activated point guard Jose Calderon from the inactive list prior to their game against the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.
The 6-foot-3 rookie had missed the previous eight games with left Achilles' tendinitis.
"I feel great," said Calderon, who isn't sure how much he will play against the Suns. "I feel 100 percent. I'm ready to play."

Chris Bosh won't even consider playing a basketball game for more than a week and there is every reason to think the Raptor all-star's season is over, the Toronto Star is reporting.
Bosh's sprained left thumb is more seriously injured than originally thought and the chance exists that the team will have to go through the final 12 games of the regular season without him.
"It's tough but safety's the main concern," Bosh said yesterday. "I talked to the doctors (Monday) and they're telling me if the same thing happens again if I play, it could be very severe."
It was originally suggested Bosh had mildly sprained his thumb after a freak collision with teammate Pape Sow during the first quarter of Sunday's game in Milwaukee.
But after seeing a Toronto hand specialist Monday, the risk of further damage is too great to ignore.
"Rather 10 days than 10 weeks or something like that," said Bosh.
