The Mavericks announced Sunday that Kleber (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a right shoulder AC joint separation and will be re-evaluated in three weeks. As expected, Kleber will miss significant time after a scary fall during the Mavericks' series-clinching Game 6 win over the Clippers on Friday. Given the timetable, Kleber will miss all of the second-round series against Oklahoma City and would likely remain sidelined for at least the first few games of the Western Conference Finals if Dallas can advance past the top-seeded Thunder.

Maxi Kleber Latest News
Out at least three weeks
The Mavericks announced Sunday that Kleber (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a right shoulder AC joint separation and will be re-evaluated in three weeks. As expected, Kleber will miss significant time after a scary fall during the Mavericks' series-clinching Game 6 win over the Clippers on Friday. Given the timetable, Kleber will miss all of the second-round series against Oklahoma City and would likely remain sidelined for at least the first few games of the Western Conference Finals if Dallas can advance past the top-seeded Thunder.
Likely out for postseason
Kleber (shoulder) is expected to miss a significant amount of time, if not the entire postseason, due to a full dislocation of his right AC joint, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Kleber suffered the injury in Friday's Game 6 victory over the Clippers. Barring a quick turnaround, it looks like Dallas will need to start planning to be without him going forward. As a result, Derrick Jones and Josh Green are candidates to see increased roles providing depth behind P.J. Washington at power forward.
Doubtful to return
Kleber is doubtful to return to Friday's Game 6 against the Clippers due to a right shoulder sprain, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. Barring a quick, surprising turnaround, Kleber is unlikely to return to Friday's contest. Given the nature of the injury, a return for a potential Game 7 on Sunday could be up in the air as well. In Kleber's absence, Derrick Jones could see some extra minutes providing depth at power forward.
Lands five triples in win
Kleber accumulated 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 123-93 win over the Clippers in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Kleber connected on five three-pointers, helping guide the Mavericks to a comfortable victory. After coming up short in front of their home fans, Dallas was able to make easy work of the Clippers in Los Angeles. The two teams will face off again Friday, where the Mavericks will look to atone for the Game 4 loss.
Will play vs. Clippers on Sunday
Kleber (back) is not in the official injury report and will be available with no limitations for Game 1 of the series against the Clippers on Sunday. Kleber didn't play in the Mavericks' final game of the regular season since the coaching staff wanted to rest him before the start of the playoffs, but he shouldn't have any limitations for the series opener against the Clippers on Sunday, He should handle his regular workload off the bench as a frontcourt option behind Daniel Gafford.
Won't play Sunday
Kleber is out for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to low back spasms. The Mavericks have already clinched a postseason berth and a matchup against the Clippers in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, so they're not going to risk any of their rotation pieces, and Kleber fits that mold even if he hasn't been a regular starter this season. Kleber ends the regular season with averages of 4.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 20.3 minutes per game in 43 appearances (seven starts).
Set to play against Miami
Kleber (back) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Heat, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports. Kleber will suit up for his third straight game Wednesday after being upgraded from probable to available despite dealing with back spasms. Kleber should continue to serve as one of Dallas' primary backups in the frontcourt.
Probable for Wednesday
Kleber (back) is probable for Wednesday against the Heat. Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set and Kleber's back spasms are still a mild concern, but the Mavericks anticipate that the forward will suit up. Kleber is averaging 6.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in four April outings.
Will play Tuesday
Kleber (back) is available to play Wednesday against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports. Kleber continues to deal with a nagging back problem, but he's going to give it a go Tuesday. He's been playing off the bench in recent weeks and enters Tuesday's action averaging just 3.8 points and 2.9 rebounds across 19.0 minutes per game in his last 10 outings, so he's hard to trust in even the deepest of formats.
