Maxi Kleber remains unsigned after Luka Doncic trade to Lakers

Summary

As of July 13, Maxi Kleber has not signed with a team, nearly two weeks into NBA free agency. The forward was part of the significant trade that brought Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers but has had limited impact since. Kleber's contract with the Dallas Mavericks expired after the 2025-26 season, making him an unrestricted free agent. Reports indicate he is exploring opportunities in Europe, having previously played for teams like Bayern Munich. His potential return to Europe may offer him a more prominent role than he would find in the NBA after struggling with shooting and inconsistent playing time.
