The Los Angeles Lakers announced that forward/center Maxi Kleber will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks with an oblique strain.
Kleber missed all but one of the Lakers six preseason games as he was dealing with a quadriceps injury. He played 10 minutes against the Sacramento Kings in the team’s preseason finale last Friday, logging three points and two rebounds.
This is yet another in a long string of injuries for the stretch big man since being traded to the Lakers last February in the Luka Doncic deal. He was unavailable after the trade as he was recovering from a foot surgery due to a fracture.
