Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Without timetable for return
Kleber is expected to miss additional time while recovering from a lumbar injury, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Kleber has already been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Bulls, and it sounds as though he's line for at least a few more absences while he tends to a lumbar issue. The 34-year-old can be considered week-to-week until the Lakers have a concrete timetable to share.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Out again Friday
Kleber (back) won't play Friday versus the Pacers.
This will be Kleber's second straight game on the inactive list due to the back injury, and with Deandre Ayton (knee) also unavailable for Friday's game, Jaxson Hayes should get all the run he can handle. Kleber's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Knicks.

Kleber is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans with back soreness, per Jovan Buha of The Athletic.
Kleber was a late addition to the Lakers' injury report Tuesday. The veteran center's role has been inconsistent of late, but Jaxson Hayes would at least be solidified as the backup center behind the struggling Deandre Ayton if Kleber is ultimately downgraded to out.
