The Los Angeles Lakers will be without forward Maxi Kleber for a minimum of two weeks following a strained oblique muscle. The team announced this injury update on the morning of October 31, 2023, just hours before their regular-season opener against the Golden State Warriors at Crypto.com Arena.
Kleber was initially listed as questionable on the team’s injury report due to a strained abdominal muscle. After further evaluation, the Lakers confirmed the more serious oblique strain that will require a recovery period. The team plans to reassess his condition in about two weeks, which means Kleber could miss several games at the start of the season.
This injury is a significant setback for the Lakers as they aim to start the season strong. Kleber’s presence on the court is vital for the team’s defensive strategies and overall performance. Fans and analysts alike will be closely monitoring his recovery process and the impact on the Lakers’ roster.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
