Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Out for Game 4
Kleber (foot) is out for Game 4 against the Timberwolves on Sunday.
The big man has yet to feature in the playoffs, and it's uncertain if he'll be able to suit up at any point during the postseason. Even if he ends up being available, he should operate as a backup in the frontcourt behind Jaxson Hayes. His next chance to play will come in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Remains out for Game 3
Kleber (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
Kleber continues to work his way back from surgery on his right foot, which means he'll be sidelined once again Friday. There remains no timeline for his return to the floor to make his debut with the Lakers, as he could very well not play another game until the start of next season.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Active during Tuesday's practice
Kleber (foot) participated in Tuesday's practice, though there's still no clear timetable for his return to game action, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Kleber hasn't played since Jan. 25 while recovering from surgery on his right foot, which he underwent on Jan. 30. The big man has been doing more on-court work recently, but there's still no official timetable for his return ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against the Timberwolves. It's unclear whether Kleber will play a role in the Lakers' rotation whenever he returns, as he has yet to suit up for Los Angeles since the club acquired him in a trade with the Mavericks.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Remains out Sunday
Kleber (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Kleber hasn't played for the Lakers since Jan. 25, and he won't be available for the final game of the regular season, either. It's unclear if he'll have a role in the rotation once the playoffs start April 19, but that scenario seems unlikely. He'd operate as one of the backup options at center behind Jaxson Hayes (hand) in a best-case scenario.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Re-evaluated in eight weeks
The Mavericks announced Tuesday that Kleber will have his surgically repaired right foot re-evaluated in eight weeks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Kleber recently went down with a right foot fracture while with the Mavericks, which resulted in needing surgery. There seems to be a decent chance that the veteran big man could miss the rest of the season, but the Lakers might hope he can return for the playoffs.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: L.A.-bound in blockbuster trade
The Lakers acquired Kleber, Luka Doncic (calf) and Markieff Morris from the Mavericks on Saturday in exchange for Anthony Davis (abdomen), Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Jazz will also receive Jalen Hood-Schifino (hamstring) and two 2025 second-round picks to help facilitate the blockbuster trade centered around Doncic and Davis. Kleber's involvement in the trade was mostly to match salaries, as he could miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery Thursday to repair a fractured right foot. A clearer return date for Kleber should emerge once he's further along in his recovery, but even if he makes a late-season or playoff return, he's unlikely to be a major part of the Los Angeles rotation. Before fracturing his foot Jan. 25, Kleber appeared in 34 games for Dallas and averaged 3.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 18.7 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Maxi Kleber: Undergoes foot surgery
The Mavericks announced Thursday that Kleber underwent surgery to repair a right foot fracture. He remains out indefinitely, and further updates on his status will be provided when appropriate.
Kleber fractured his foot in a Jan. 25 loss to the Celtics. Though the Mavericks aren't provided a timeline for his return, the fact that he required surgery to address the injury suggests that he'll be sidelined for multiple months, potentially resulting him missing the rest of the regular season. With Dereck Lively (ankle) also out indefinitely, the Mavericks will continue to rely heavily on Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington in the frontcourt.

Mavericks' Maxi Kleber: Out indefinitely with broken foot
Kleber was diagnosed Saturday with a broken right foot and will miss an extended period of time, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Mavericks have suffered two major losses to their frontcourt in the past week, as Dereck Lively was diagnosed Wednesday with a right ankle stress fracture that will likely keep him out 2-to-3 months. Kleber could face a similar lengthy recovery timeline, which could be extended further if he needs surgery to address the foot fracture. While Lively and Kleber are sidelined for the foreseeable future, Daniel Gafford should continue to see heavy minutes as Dallas' starting center, and Dwight Powell (hip) could have a regular spot in the rotation as Gafford's backup, once healthy.
