Mavericks' Maxi Kleber Sidelined Indefinitely with Severe Shoulder Injury

Maxi Kleber's playoff prospects dim after a significant shoulder injury during the Mavericks' recent game, impacting team strategies.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber suffers a third-degree dislocation of his AC joint, likely missing the postseason.
Injury occurred during a pivotal Game 6 victory over the L.A. Clippers, following a collision with Clippers forward Amir Coffey.
Kleber's absence poses challenges for the Mavericks as they prepare for their upcoming series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The team will rely on recent frontcourt acquisitions and reserves like Dereck Lively and P.J. Washington to fill the gap.
Kleber had been a key player, known for his defensive skills and three-point shooting, contributing significantly in the first playoff round.
