The Dallas Mavericks are closely monitoring forward Maxi Kleber’s status after he sustained a right hamstring injury during their 114-102 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night. Kleber, who exited midway through the fourth quarter, contributed 2 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists over 16 minutes before being ruled out. The Mavericks listed him as questionable for Monday’s game against the Utah Jazz, with an update expected during head coach Jason Kidd’s pre-game media session.
After talks with Dallas on a new deal, Grimes elected not to accept the Mavericks’ three-year offer — believed to be in a similar range as Dallas’ three-year, $27 million offseason deal with Naji Marshall — in hopes that a strong debut season alongside Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving can lead to a richer deal in restricted free agency.

It wouldn’t be Thompson if it weren’t harrowing. If he didn’t make you hold your breath before releasing it in agony or ecstasy. Thursday night in Dallas was all ecstasy. “Just an awesome feeling,” Thompson told reporters afterward. “You only get the first time of something so often. So to experience that and hear the roar from the crowd was really and I will cherish that moment for the rest of my life.”
