An underwhelming 6-foot-10 former Dallas Mavericks sharpshooter's short stint with the Los Angeles Lakers is reportedly over.
According to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the Lakers are cutting ties with the 34-year-old veteran by renouncing his free agent rights.
The Los Angeles Lakers have officially renounced the free agent rights to LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Dion Waiters, Luke Kennard, Marcus Smart, Maxi Kleber, Nick Smith Jr, Jared Dudley, Avery Bradley, Jaxson Hayes, Markieff Morris, and Wayne Ellington.
Kleber, who joined the Lakers with Luka Doncic on Feb. 2 2025, via a mind-blowing trade with the Mavericks, didn't appear in a game with Los Angeles due to a right foot fracture. Due to a quad injury suffered during the beginning of training camp, the Wurzburg, Germany native missed the start of the 2025-26 season.
