(@ShamsCharania) Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber is on cusp of a return to the postseason, he has been upgraded to questionable for Game 4 vs. Timberwolves. Kleber has been out since May 3 due to an AC joint shoulder separation.

    Good to see him get in a game before the Finals to shave some rust off while also helping hold it down without Lively. I just hope he’s not being rushed back because of Lively though and that he feels comfortable enough with his shoulder to shoot, grab rebounds and contest shots.

    MY GLORIOUS PRINCE WE MISSED YOU ON DEFENSE ILL NEVER SLANDER YOU AGAIN

    Lively goes down with a injury and Maxi returns from the grave the very next game.

    Fingers crossed we get playoff Maxi and not “recovering from injury and looking cooked for month” Maxi.

    Winning tomorrow would be so huge, praying Lively’s injury heals up well before the finals if we do.

    Maxi is a flip coin, devastation or greatness from the 3 point line. I love him tough.

    “It’s Maxi on the line. It’s almost time, tell everyone”.

    Reading the tea leaves, I think Lively is out for game 4 but could come back anytime after that. But I think Maxi will play limited minutes tomorrow to split with Powell and Gafford. Something like Gafford 30 to 35. Maxi around 15. Powell around 10. I think we will see some lineups with Maxi paired with Powell or Gafford.

    I don’t even care if his shot is busted coming out the gate, if he’s in condition to stabilize our defense for 12-15 minutes of the game tomorrow, it’s gonna be much-needed to help us survive without Lively.

    This is huge, we need his defense more than his shot so hopefully his legs still work

    Hell! Yeah! He will be very important rotation player specially in the finals so he can rotate on Boston’s big men shooting threes.

  10. Just as lively goes out – that’s good timing

    Without Lively if we can just get a 10 minutes out of Kleber to absorb fouls and spell Gaff and such that could be huge. We are short on bigs.

    Deep team. I bet the nuggets wish they had even one of these dudes to backup jokic.
