Maxi Kleber Stats

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber had his $9 million salary become fully guaranteed. Throughout 59 games last season, the 30-year-old averaged 7.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.0 blocks. While he should get some minutes in 2022-23, his workload may be severely reduced if he remains in Dallas after the team signed JaVale McGee and acquired Christian Wood this offseason. Although injuries could change Kleber's fantasy projections, any effective outings this year will probably be few and far between.

He was able to play through the injury and had a fantastic scoring game, hitting 5-of-8 three-pointers while scoring 19 points, second-most on the team. After the game, while conducting interviews, Kleber was dealing with some back and neck stiffness. He stated, "It's okay right now. It hurts obviously, a little bit, but we're gonna do some treatment and I should be fine." The team has a day off before Wednesday's Game 2. As of now, all signs point to Kleber being good to go for the next game.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (ankle) will be ready in time for the playoffs, according to head coach Jason Kidd. He has missed each of the last four games due to right ankle soreness. Although, the Mavs have likely been extra cautious with him because the playoffs are about to begin. The Mavs have been leaning on Dwight Powell, Davis Bertans and Boban Marjanovic with Kleber sidelined. Luckily, it sounds like they won't have to do that for much longer.
