Maxi Kleber was upgraded for game 5, vs. Timberwolves

The Los Angeles Lakers published their injury report and excited Maxi Kleber (Right Foot Operation Recovery) against the Minnesota Timberwolves for game 5.

This is the first time that glue has no longer been excluded since retail to the Lakers in the Blockbuster deal of the Dallas Mavericks in February. He previously suffered a broken foot that required surgery and comprehensive recovery.

However, Kleber started practicing the Lakers at the end of the regular season and now seems to have made enough progress to be upgraded for game 5 on a question.

It remains to be seen whether he can no longer adapt on Wednesday evening, but even if glue is available, it is hard to imagine that JJ Redick throws him into the mix in a do-or-die game. The 33-year-old has playoff experience, but has not played in any game for over three months, let alone a must-win game with playoff intensity.

However, the good news here is that glue is making progress and could be an option for Redick on the street if you win game 5. The Lakers are clearly lacking size and rotation scaliber.

In the 2025-26 season, glue is under contract with the Lakers with the Lakers with $ 11 million. Even if you don’t get it out of the first round, it apparently becomes as if he would go into the low season almost healthy in the off -season, and should be ready for the training camp next autumn.

If glue is available before game 5, it would be interesting that Redick would take a different look at the Timberwolves. If that happened, the Lakers debut would mark it for glue.

JJ Redick about the mood of the Lakers in game 5

The Lakers have to win three games in a row to keep their season alive, and JJ Redick discussed the atmosphere in the changing room in a do-or-thas game 5 against the Timberwolves.

“You have to play with a feeling of despair,” he said after training on Tuesday. “You cannot change what has already happened and you cannot feel sorry for yourself. Our focus is on game 5. We have to win game 5. And that was conveyed by the coaches, players. Tomorrow is a game 7 for us,” added Redick.
