MRI coming after Media Day optimism
Maxi Kleber’s promising Media Day didn’t last long, as the Lakers big man tweaked his quad during conditioning on Tuesday. Coach JJ Redick confirmed he’ll undergo an MRI as a precaution, with the hope it’s minor.
The injury opens up more minutes for Ayton, Hayes, and Koloko — though fans know Kleber’s outside shooting is still vital. LeBron, meanwhile, manages his Year 23 preseason work. At this rate, Kleber’s season might need more bubble wrap than basketballs.
