– A shoulder injury stops Maxi Kleber. The German basketball player will probably no longer play in the current NBA playoffs and will be missing from the Dallas Mavericks against Oklahoma City.
German basketball professional Maxi Kleber from the Dallas Mavericks is threatened with an early end to the season in the North American professional league NBA.
His club announced that an MRI scan had revealed a shoulder joint sprain in the 32-year-old. A new examination and evaluation is scheduled to take place in three weeks. He sustained the injury in the Texans’ playoff win against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The AP news agency and the television station ESPN, among others, had previously reported, citing a source close to the club, that further appearances by the Würzburg native in the coming weeks were hardly possible given the severity of the injury.
The Mavs around Kleber and Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic are already in the second round of the playoffs. Kleber only played five minutes due to an injury in the decisive first-round win to make it 4-2 in the best-of-seven series against the Clippers and scored four points. After being fouled on a layup early in the second quarter, he went down and had to leave the game early with an injury to his right shoulder.
Dallas, the former club of superstar Dirk Nowitzki, will face the favored Oklahoma City Thunder in the semifinals of the Western Conference.
