Dončić, Kleber expected to play as Mavericks try to regroup

Luka Donu010diu0107, suffering from a cervical strain, has been listed as probable for Game 5 on Wednesday night, and coach Rick Carlisle expects his superstar point guard to be available.

Maxi Kleber, the 6-10 forward who has fought various ailments for big chunks of this season, also is listed as probable with a sore right Achilles.

Both players have been receiving treatments since Game 4 Sunday. Carlisle reported improvement in Donu010diu0107’s condition on Tuesday after a practice in Los Angeles.

“He seems to be doing better, so that’s good news,” Carlisle said. “I’m not sure how much better, but he’s definitely better.
