Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Back to bench Sunday
Kleber is not in the Lakers' starting lineup against the Raptors on Sunday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Kleber made his first start of the season during the Lakers' 132-116 loss to the Trail Blazers on Saturday, when he logged 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes. He'll revert to the bench for Sunday's game due to the return of Deandre Ayton (knee).

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Starting vs. Portland
Kleber will start against the Trail Blazers on Saturday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
With Deandre Ayton (knee) and Jaxson Hayes (hamstring) unavailable, Kleber will get the starting nod for the first time this season. The veteran big man is averaging 1.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game through 19 regular-season appearances.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Sees 12 minutes in loss
Kleber posted one point (0-3 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 107-91 loss to San Antonio.
With the Lakers getting some solid minutes out of Jarred Vanderbilt lately, Kleber continues to be limited to scraps off the bench. Over his last four appearances, he's seen just 10.1 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Logs 19 minutes in return
Kleber (back) accumulated five points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 19 minutes during Thursday's 143-135 victory over the Jazz.
Kleber made his return from a three-game absence with a lumbar muscle strain, and he saw an uptick in playing time due to the absence of Deandre Ayton (elbow). Even so, Kleber remains far off the fantasy radar, Kleber has averaged 2.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 12.7 minutes per contest over 11 games this season.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Upgraded to available
Kleber (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
A lumbar muscle strain is bothering Kleber, but not enough to stop him from getting the green light to play. The veteran center has handled a muted role in 2025-26, averaging 1.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 12.1 minutes through 10 games.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Trending toward playing Thursday
Kleber (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Kleber has missed the Lakers' last two games due to a lumbar muscle strain, but he is poised to make his return Thursday. With Deandre Ayton (elbow) ruled out, Kleber will likely see an uptick in rotational minutes at center behind Jaxson Hayes.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Ruled out for Sunday

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Ruled out vs. Spurs
Kleber (back) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Kleber is dealing with a lumbar muscle strain, making it unclear how long he'll need to recover. His absence should solidify Rui Hachimura's minutes and also keep Jaxson Hayes locked into the backup center role, while Jake LaRavia could see an uptick in minutes Wednesday.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Questionable to play Wednesday
Kleber is listed as questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup against the Spurs due to a lumbar muscle strain.
It's unclear when Kleber sustained the injury, given that he hasn't played in coach's decisions in two of the Lakers' last three games. His potential absence Wednesday won't open up extra playing time for other Los Angeles reserves.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Minimal impact in loss
Kleber notched five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 10 minutes during Monday's 125-108 loss to the Suns.
While Kleber set his season high in scoring Monday, it felt like the entire Lakers team was sluggish as they got routed by Phoenix at home. Kleber has not been a big contributor off the bench at all, averaging just 2.0 points and 1.9 rebounds across 11.7 minutes this season.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Gets 14 minutes in team debut
Kleber (oblique) totaled one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 14 minutes in Saturday's 122-102 loss to the Hawks.
Though Kleber was acquired last February as a throw-in piece in the deal that sent Luka Doncic to Los Angeles, he didn't make his Lakers debut until Saturday. Following his acquisition from Dallas, Kleber didn't play during the remainder of the 2024-25 season while recovering from Jan. 30 right foot surgery, and he then missed the first nine games of 2025-26 while working his way back from a left oblique strain suffered during the preseason. Now that he's healthy again, Kleber may be able to hold down a spot in the Los Angeles rotation in the short term, but he'll likely be at risk of losing out on playing time as soon as the Lakers get either or both of LeBron James (sciatica) and Austin Reaves (groin) back from injury.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Upgraded to available
Kleber (oblique) has been upgraded to available for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Kleber will be available to make his regular-season debut in this matchup. He'll add depth to the frontcourt, but he shouldn't carry significant fantasy upside in most formats.

Kleber has yet to make his regular-season debut, but he'll have a chance to do so Saturday night. However, he's not expected to be a significant part of the rotation.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Unavailable Monday
Kleber (oblique) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
It was thought that Kleber had a shot to make his season debut Monday after missing time with an oblique strain, but he'll need to wait at least a few more days after being downgraded to out. His next opportunity to run the floor will arrive Wednesday against the Spurs.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Gets questionable tag
Kleber (abdomen) is questionable for Monday's game against Portland, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
The door is open for Kleber to make his season debut. Given that he's been out for multiple weeks, the veteran big man would likely be eased back into action if he's healthy enough to play. Kleber is set to battle for the backup center role with Jaxson Hayes this season.
