The Dallas Mavericks faced the Los Angeles Clippers in the playoffs, winning in six games to advance to face the Oklahoma City Thunder. Forward Maxi Kleber suffered a dislocated shoulder, impacting the team's lineup.
Kleber's absence will be felt, as he provides key contributions in spreading the floor and inner defense. Despite attempts to continue playing after the injury, he was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the game and possibly the playoffs.
The team will need to rely on other players like Dwight Powell and Markieff Morris to step up in Kleber's absence as they start their series against the Thunder on May 7th.
