No surprise here, as Kleber was listed as probable on Wednesday. Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out, but Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt will be the most likely beneficiaries from a fantasy standpoint. Kleber could see some run off the bench, but it likely won’t amount to much production for fantasy managers.

Even with Deandre Ayton (elbow) ruled out, Kleber is unlikely to get the run needed to affect fantasy basketball if he plays on Thursday. Leave him on the waiver wire.

Kleber will be inactive for a third straight game as he deals with a lumbar muscle strain. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is usually on the back end of the Lakers’ rotation when available.

Kleber was initially listed as questionable with a back injury. The 33-year-old power forward is set to miss the contest, but his absence doesn’t significantly impact fantasy basketball.

Kleber’s role has been minimal when the rest of the roster is healthy, which is the case for Wednesday’s game. His absence won’t have much of an impact on the rest of the rotation.

Kleber will be available for the first time this season, and it will be interesting to see how Lakers coach JJ Redick uses him. However, it is unlikely that he plays enough, or produces enough, to warrant a roster spot in most formats.

Kleber has yet to appear in a game this season, but that may change on Saturday. However, if the veteran forward is available to play, he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball. Leave Kleber on the waiver wire.

Kleber remains out for another game due to an abdominal muscle strain. He’s unlikely to impact fantasy basketball once available, so there’s no need to stash Kleber in an IL+ slot.

Kleber will have to wait at least one more game before making his season debut. He was listed as questionable for the first time this season, so his return could be close, though it is unlikely that he plays a significant role.

Kleber has yet to suit up this season, but he could be available for the Lakers on the second night of a back-to-back. There would be extra minutes available for Kleber if he suits up, but he likely won’t play enough to make a fantasy impact.

Kleber, who was initially listed as questionable for the season opener, will not miss at least the first eight games of the year and could certainly be sidelined longer. Part of the trade that brought Luka Doncic to Los Angeles, Kleber played five minutes in the playoffs last year and 10 minutes during a preseason game last week. That’s been the extent of his availability for the Lakers. His absence should lead to a few extra minutes for Jarred Vanderbilt and Jake LaRavia.

Dealing with an abdominal muscle strain, Kleber is questionable for Tuesday’s season opener. He’s yet to make his Lakers debut, as the veteran forward was injured when included in the Luka Dončić trade, and Kleber did not play at all during the preseason. Even if he’s available Tuesday night, Kleber is unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball due to the amount of time missed.

Kleber has been sidelined since before he was traded to the Lakers as part of the Luka Doncic deal, and this will be the first time he is available to suit up for Los Angeles. In a win-or-go-home game for them, it’s unclear how much head coach JJ Redick will lean on a new player that hasn’t played in three months.

At long last, Kleber may be able to make his Lakers debut after being sent to Los Angeles as part of the Luka Doncic trade. The veteran forward/center underwent surgery on his right foot days before being traded, having last appeared in a game on January 25. Kleber can potentially add frontcourt depth, but Lakers coach JJ Redick stuck with the same five (Doncic/Reaves/Hachimura/James/Finney-Smith) for the entire second half of Sunday’s Game 4 loss.

Kleber, who had surgery to repair a right foot fracture days before being traded to the Lakers, is inching closer to making his debut for Los Angeles. He was a footnote in the Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis swap, but he could end up being an important depth piece for the Lakers in the postseason. It’s unclear how much longer he’ll be sidelined, but if he does return before the playoffs, it will likely be in a limited role.
