Questionable to play Wednesday
Kleber is listed as questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup against the Spurs due to a lumbar muscle strain.

It's unclear when Kleber sustained the injury, given that he hasn't played in coach's decisions in two of the Lakers' last three games. His potential absence Wednesday won't open up extra playing time for other Los Angeles reserves.
