Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (toe) was originally listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets but he has since been ruled out.

Ridly Greig Expected To Miss Multiple Games

Ottawa Senators center Ridly Greig suffered a lower-body injury Thursday against Los Angeles and is expected to miss "a few games."

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (elbow) is active ahead of Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The big man was listed as probable coming into this contest due to left elbow soreness.
