This preseason has been less than ideal for the Los Angeles Lakers as a number of key players have been in and out of the lineup due to injury.
Considering the Lakers added some new pieces this offseason, they are in the process of building chemistry and a lack of games reps has hindered that process.
One player who has yet to take the court is Maxi Kleber. After being acquired by the Lakers in the Luka Doncic trade, he missed all but one game to finish last season due to a foot injury.
Kleber reported to training camp completely healthy and ready to go, although that was short-lived as he suffered a quad injury during the Lakers’ first practice.
