German Forward Maxi Kleber Considered by Hapoel Tel Aviv for Upcoming Season

Hapoel Tel Aviv is reportedly interested in signing Maxi Kleber, a 34-year-old German forward/center who has spent the last nine years playing in the NBA. Kleber, standing 2.08 meters tall, most recently played for the Los Angeles Lakers during the previous season. He appeared in 43 games, averaging 10.7 minutes, 2 points, and 2 rebounds per game. Kleber can play both the power forward and center positions, which would add depth to Hapoel Tel Aviv's roster alongside players Tai Odiase and Dan Otero.

Before joining the Lakers, Kleber played for the Dallas Mavericks, with his best season being 2019/20 when he appeared in 74 regular-season games and averaged 9.1 points per game. The potential signing is seen as an important piece to strengthen the team for the upcoming Israeli Basketball Premier League season. Further details about the transfer are expected to be announced soon.
