In the Abu Dhabi Games of the NBA, German national player Maximilian Kleber suffered a defeat in his first appearance with the Dallas Mavericks since his high-profile withdrawal from the Basketball World Cup.

The Texan team was defeated by the Minnesota Timberwolves with a score of 99-111 at the Etihad Arena on Thursday.

Kleber withdrew from the tournament just before the start of the preparations for the World Cup in Asia, where Germany secured its first-ever gold medal. This decision came after a dispute with captain Dennis Schröder, who had criticized Kleber's behavior in a podcast.

Dallas is scheduled to play Minnesota twice in Abu Dhabi, with another matchup on Saturday. The NBA season is set to begin on October 24th. Kleber played for a little over eight minutes and scored two points.

Dallas fielded 18 players, and the leading scorer for the Mavericks was Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic, who scored 25 points in just 17 minutes.
