Maxi Kleber Out With Lower Back Contusion
2 years agoThe Dallas Mavericks' frontcourt defense received a blow to its core, with Maxi Kleber missing his third game of the season due to a back injury. As Dallas continues to find its footing -- they are currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference -- missing a key piece in the defense against an explosive Boston Celtics team makes matters worse. Despite the Mavericks having the fifth-ranked defensive rating, playing without Kleber will make it easier for Celtics players to get to the rim. Boston currently tops the league with a 119 offensive rating.
