DALLAS, TEXAS — The Dallas Mavericks have confirmed that forward/center Maxi Kleber recently underwent surgery to address a right foot fracture sustained during their January 25 game against the Boston Celtics.
No immediate timeline has been provided for Kleber’s return. His absence presents a challenge for Dallas, as he has been a vital defensive anchor and a key contributor in the frontcourt.
Kleber’s defensive prowess, including shot-blocking and versatility in guarding multiple positions, has been integral to the Mavericks’ game plan. With his absence, the team will rely on other big men to step up and fill the void as they push forward in the season.
The Mavericks will continue to assess Kleber’s progress and share updates as they become available.
