Mavericks' Maxi Kleber: Won't play Thursday

Kleber (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Houston.

Kleber will be sidelined for a third consecutive game due to a right hamstring strain. Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively will continue starring at the center position, although Kleber's ongoing absence removes the element of long-distance shooting from the Mavericks' center position.
