The Mavericks are extending Maxi Kleber to a lucrative deal

Despite various injuries, Dallas felt very confident in giving their big man a new contract. This extends him out for another three years, which allows him to make $11 million per year. The whole contract is guaranteed at three-years, $33 million dollars.

Kleber will be remaining with the franchise for four seasons, they extended him off of his remaining contract (which was an expiring contract), as Dallas retains one of their top frontcourt players. In the years prior to this offseason, he has been an important stretch big offensively for the Mavericks.

Plus, his defensive game is pretty solid as well. He is an underrated rim protector that has the capabilities of clogging the lane and creating disruption. A win-win for both sides that an agreement was reached on a new contract.

Luka Doncic To Miss Time With Calf Strain

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks are bracing for the reality of missing their star player for an extended period.

Luka Doncic had an early exit in their Christmas Day game against the Minnesota Timberwolves after suffering a calf injury in the first half. Once he went to the locker room, he never returned.

The 25-year-old left the arena in crutches, as it’s expected he completes an MRI Thursday.

Earlier in October, Doncic had a contusion on the same calf. This has been a reoccurring injury for some points in his career.

Doncic has played in 22 of the 30 available games for Dallas this season.
