Dallas Mavericks Face Major Setback as Maxi Kleber Suffers Broken Foot

The injury adds to a growing list of sidelined players, leaving the team struggling for depth while Luka Doncic progresses in his recovery.

Maxi Kleber sustained a right foot fracture during the Mavericks' loss to the Boston Celtics and is expected to miss an extended period.
The injury occurred in the third quarter when Kleber accidentally stepped on an opposing player's foot, forcing him to leave the game.
Kleber joins five other Mavericks players, including Dereck Lively II and Dwight Powell, on the injury list, severely impacting the team's big man rotation.
Coach Jason Kidd acknowledged the challenges posed by the rash of injuries, noting the team may explore trade or short-term contract options to address roster gaps.
Luka Doncic has begun participating in light rehab activities, but no timeline has been confirmed for his return to the court.
