Fuentes – Maxi Kleber de Mavs (broken foot) for a prolonged period

Dallas-in another great blow to the depth of Big Man of the Dallas Mavericks, the striker/center of Power Maxi Kleber suffered a right foot fracture in the defeat of Saturday 122-107 against the Boston Celtics, the team announced.

The MAVs said that Kleber would be reevaluated this week, but the sources told ESPN that a prolonged period of time would sit.

Kleber suffered the injury in the third quarter and was discarded by the rest of the game after breaking the locker room.

The radiographs revealed Kleber’s fracture days after the initial center of Dallas Dirck Lively II was diagnosed with a stress fracture in the right ankle. Lively will be reevaluated in a month, and the sources hope it will be left aside for two or three months.

The Dwight Powell reserve center stayed out in the last four games due to a tense hip, which means that Daniel Gafford is the only healthy big man on the list.

“It’s a hole. It’s difficult,” said the MAV coach Jason Kidd, after the game with respect to the eruption of injuries to the great men of the team. “I’ve never seen anything like that, and it’s not going to improve.”

A source said there was optimism that Powell, a former opener who averaged only 7.6 minutes this season, could return at some point during the five -set of the Mavs that begins on Wednesday.

The MAVS will evaluate their options to address their lack of central depth, including the exploration of the commercial market, the candidates for two -way agreements and 10 -day contract candidates, according to a source, who added that the main office would be cautious to give up A significant asset in an agreement to solve a temporary problem.
