The Dallas Mavericks have progressed to the second round of the NBA playoffs after a victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Forward Maxi Kleber suffered a Grade 3 AC joint separation in Game 6, ruling him out for at least three weeks.

Kleber's injury may sideline him for the remaining playoff games, with a re-evaluation pending.

The Mavericks face a significant loss as Kleber's 3-point shooting at 55.6% was vital to their playoff success.

Dallas begins their playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on May 7 at 9:30 p.m. ET.
