Reports: Mavericks F Maxi Kleber (shoulder) out indefinitely
Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber will be sidelined indefinitely after sustaining a dislocated right shoulder during Friday night's series-clinching victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, according to published reports Saturday.

The dislocation is reportedly serious enough that it could end Kleber's season.

Kleber was hurt early in the second quarter of the 114-101 win over the Clippers in Game 6. He was driving toward the hoop and landed awkwardly after being fouled by Amir Coffey of the Clippers.

Kleber scored four points before exiting as he managed to make one of two free throws immediately after the injury. In Game 5, Kleber scored 15 points on five 3-pointers and averaged 5.7 points in the series.

In the regular season, the 32-year-old from Germany averaged 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 43 games (seven starts).

Overall, Kleber has averages of 6.7 points and 4.5 rebounds in 406 games (147 starts) over seven NBA seasons. He has made 477 career 3-pointers while shooting 35.7 percent from long range.
