Mavericks missing Maxi as ‘unlucky’ year continues

Before Tuesday’s visit to Miami, Mavericks’ coach Rick Carlisle said Maxi Kleber has fought through an unlucky season.

And, speaking strictly from a medical point of view, he’s right.

Kleber was out against the Heat and “likely the next two or three games,” Carlisle said, to take some stress off of an achy right Achilles and ankle.

The 6-10 forward/center has missed 17 of 65 games this season after playing 74 of 75 last year.

However, when you examine Kleber’s production, it’s hard to say that this has been anything but a successful season.
