German-born professional basketball player Maximilian Kleber is now a member of the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA. Standing 2.08 meters (6 feet 10 inches) tall, he is a power forward.
Kleber helped his club win 122-106 against the Orlando Magic in February 2020 by scoring a career-high 26 points against them. He appeared in 74 games, leading the league in games played, and averaged 9.1 points per game during the 2019–20 season.
In addition, Kleber finished that season 19th in the league in blocks. Although he had trouble shooting against the LA Clippers in his first playoff game, he was given the responsibility of guarding Kawhi Leonard, one of the finest players in the league.
In the first nine games of the 2020–21 season, Kleber had an impressive 47.2% three-point shooting percentage and averaged 7.4 points per game. To recover from COVID-19, he was forced to take a vacation for ten games.
In 17 minutes of action against the Phoenix Suns in February 2021, Kleber made his court debut and recorded two points and six rebounds. Unfortunately, the LA Clippers defeated his squad in the opening round of the playoffs that year.
In Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs in April 2022, Kleber led his team with an outstanding 25 points and made eight 3-pointers as they defeated the Utah Jazz 110-104.
Is Maxi Kleber hurt?
Kleber (hamstring) missed Friday’s game against the Bulls. Kleber returned to action against the 76ers on Wednesday, but he will be one of several Mavericks sitting out the last game of the regular season. Reggie Bullock and Davis Bertans may see more playing time versus Chicago.
