Maxi Kleber expected to debut for Lakers before season’s end

There is optimism that Maxi Kleber could make his Los Angeles Lakers debut before the season concludes.

As part of a blockbuster trade, the Dallas Mavericks sent Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris to the Lakers, while Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick went to Dallas in a three-team deal involving Utah.

Kleber, currently recovering from injury, could soon provide frontcourt depth alongside LeBron James and Doncic in Los Angeles.
