Re: Maxi Kleber: Hamstring surgery is pretty uncommon in the NBA. I only have 3 other recorded cases in my NBA Injury Database. Khris Middleton’s injury, which Kidd used as a comparison for Maxi’s tear, remains the best comp. Middleton returned to action 133 days post surgery. – 2:09 PM

Mavericks looking like they miss Josh Green, Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell more than Minnesota misses Rudy Gobert and KAT. Wolves up 70-54 mid-third. – 9:33 PM

Callie Caplan: Jason Kidd said Maxi Kleber’s right hamstring tear was a “freak injury” that happened when he hyperextended his knee dribbling, non-contact, in Tuesday’s practice. Mavs will have update on Maxi’s course of treatment/rehab, including surgery option, “pretty soon.” -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / December 16, 2022
