Key Dallas Mavericks Bench Piece Suffers Injury, Leaves Game 6 Against Clippers

Maxi Kleber , a key member of the Mavericks' bench, left Game 6 early in the second quarter after taking a hard and scary fall on a shot attempt. Kleber got the ball in transition but Amir Coffey was waiting and couldn't decide on whether to take a charge or brace for the foul as he caught Kleber in the chest, resulting in the fall. Kleber fell directly on his elbow and sprained his shoulder, per Mavericks PR, and is doubtful to return in Game 6.

The Mavericks have a chance to close the Clippers out in Game 6 with a win and will look to PJ Washington, Josh Green, and Derrick Jones Jr. to take on Kleber's defensive assignments in the meantime.Luka, Kyrie's Mavs Lead NBA in Clutch Game Win Percentage; Good Sign for Playoffs?
