Mavs-Raptors primer: Kleber likely to return for early tipoff

TORONTO – Desperate for a win to stop a three-game road losing streak, the Mavericks hope to welcome back Maxi Kleber when they visit the Toronto Raptors Saturday afternoon (4 p.m. tipoff, Dallas time).

Kleber, who has missed the last four games with a sore lower back, went through a full practice Friday at Scotiabank Arena and is probable for the Raptors’ game.

“We’ll see how he feels tomorrow,” coach Jason Kidd said. “Getting Maxi back helps us defensively and then when you look at the spacing, it gives guys more space. Maybe the break helps him with his shots.
