Fighting against the water! The Lakers wounded barracks are turning around, and new aid Kleber is in doubt

The Los Angeles Lakers usher in important news before the key battle. According to the team's latest injury report, new player Maxi Kleber, who joined this year's trading deadline, made positive progress in injury. The German striker's playing form has been upgraded to "playing in doubt", and was defeated in the fifth game of the first round of the playoffs at 10 a.m. on May 1.

It is worth noting that Kleber, 31, has been on the free-to-play card since undergoing right foot surgery on January 26 this year. At that time, he still played for the Dallas Mavericks. After joining the Lakers through a trade on February 9, the 2.08-meter forward player has never been able to make the appearance. In his 34 regular season games this season, he averaged 3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in 18.7 minutes of playing time, but his three-point shooting percentage was only 26.5%, and his overall condition has declined compared to previous seasons.

The Lakers are currently in a desperate situation of 1-3 in the series. Head coach Redick revealed at the pre-match press conference that the coaching staff has positioned this life-and-death battle as a "tie-seven battle". "We need to show our determination to fight back and each round must be treated as the last attack."

For Lakers fans, Kleber's potential comeback is right. If this veteran with 7 years of NBA experience can strengthen the forward rotation in time, it may add weight to the Purple and Gold Legion's suspense to the series. However, the medical team revealed that Kleber's final appearance decision will be made after the warm-up before the game to ensure that he will not aggravate his injuries due to a hasty comeback.

This focus game on the survival of the Lakers season started at home at 10 a.m. on May 1. Was the Timberwolves advanced early or the Lakers staged a Jedi counterattack?
