Overview
- Kleber delivered six points, six rebounds and a block in just 13 minutes as Los Angeles blew out Sacramento.
- He punctuated the stint with two poster dunks, including one over Precious Achiuwa, which Redick said gave the group spirit.
- The veteran also blocked a Drew Eubanks layup and made a rugged stand on a Malik Monk drive that intensified the game’s edge.
- Redick praised him as a terrific teammate who plays winning, selfless basketball, with Rui Hachimura and Marcus Smart lauding his energy and professionalism.
- Despite sporadic usage this season—34 appearances in 59 games and under 11 minutes per outing—his impact has aligned with the Lakers’ back-to-back wins, and Redick could look his way in pressure moments if the reliability continues.
