5 minutes on the court! Annual salary of 11 million! The Lakers completely ruined their hands

On October 3, the Lakers officially announced that James (hip), Smart (Achilles tendonitis), Cleber (quadriceps) and Adu Tiero (knee) will miss tomorrow's preseason game with the Suns. Jaylen Green had a mild hamstring strain and could not be beaten. Three days ago, Cleber said that he had recovered 100% of his health, but now he is injured again.

Some fans were puzzled before: Should it be translated as Kleber or Kleber? Just like Leonard and Leonard, they have different personal translation habits. As long as you know they are the same person. Claiber suffered a quadriceps strain. Not only did he miss tomorrow's game against the Suns, but he also couldn't play against the Warriors on October 6.

Kleber's contract is $33 million for three years, expires in the summer of 2026, and his annual salary is $11 million. During this offseason, the Lakers want to send away Kennett and Cleber in packs. Even if Claiber has an expiration contract, no team is willing to take over. On the one hand, he is not capable, and on the other hand, he has too many injuries. What should he do?

Lakers fans always joke: Kleber is a three-point shooter who averages 2 points! In February this year, the Lakers gave Thick Brows, Christie and the first round pick in 2029 to the Mavericks in exchange for Doncic, Morris Big and Claiber. At that time, some fans questioned: Why do the Lakers want Kleber? It’s not that the Lakers want it, but that the Mavericks must take on him!

Kleber's contract is a negative asset. If the Lakers want to get Doncic, they can only take over Kleber. Last season, Kleber suffered a fractured right foot and played 34 regular season games with the Mavericks. He averaged 18.7 minutes per game, scored 3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.7 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 38.5%, 26.5%, and 76.2%.

After joining the Lakers, Kleber has been recovering from injuries and has never played in a regular season game. He played 1 game in the playoffs, played 5 minutes, made 0 of 1 shot, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 2 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists. After seeing this, you will know why the Lakers can't send Claiber away. Do you think Claiber still has a chance to play in the Lakers?
