Maxi Kleber Injury: Ruled out vs. Spurs

Kleber (back) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Kleber is dealing with a lumbar muscle strain, making it unclear how long he'll need to recover. His absence should solidify Rui Hachimura's minutes and also keep Jaxson Hayes locked into the backup center role, while Jake LaRavia could see an uptick in minutes Wednesday.
