Danté Exum Injury News & Updates

The Mavericks announced Thursday that Exum will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Exum needs a follow-up procedure after dealing with complications from offseason right knee surgery, which will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the year. The veteran guard will be an unrestricted free agent next summer. Until Kyrie Irving (knee) is cleared to play, D'Angelo Russell and Brandon Williams should continue to share the minutes at point guard.

Exum (knee) will miss Monday's game against Minnesota and remains without a timetable for a return, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Exum has yet to make an appearance this season and there's been no word of him ramping up at practice. It would be a surprise to see him return at any point in November.

Exum (knee) still does not have an official timetable to return.

Exum continues to get ruled out for games 24 hours in advance of tip-off and he hasn't practiced since early in training camp back in September. When Jason Kidd was recently asked about where Exum was at in his recovery, Kidd simply responded, "That's a great question. He's getting re-evaluated, and we'll see how that goes." With no signs of positive progress and no clear return date in sight, Exum should be considered week-to-week.

Exum (knee) is still not practicing, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Exum barely participated in practice at the start of training camp, and he's been sidelined for two weeks due to a knee issue. The veteran guard is without a timetable for a return, rendering him unlikely for action at the onset of the regular season Wednesday against San Antonio.

Exum (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Hornets, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

Exum has not been participating in practices or playing in any games during the preseason, which was previously for an undisclosed reason. It remains to be seen how much time he may miss, with no clear timetable set for his return to the floor.

Exum (undisclosed) did not practice Tuesday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Exum wasn't able to play in Monday's preseason opener and coach Jason Kidd wasn't willing to discuss his injury. "He's just out," Kidd said. "That's all I can tell you." At this point, it would be a surprise to see Exum suit up for Saturday's exhibition against Charlotte.

Exum (undisclosed) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Exum was inactive at the start of training camp and will now miss Dallas' preseason opener due to undisclosed reasons. The 30-year-old guard did participate in Sunday's practice, which bodes well for his chances of playing in Saturday's preseason game against the Hornets.

Exum (undisclosed) participated in Sunday's practice, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Exum was inactive at the start of training camp due to undisclosed reasons, though he's back at practice and is expected to be available for Monday's preseason game against the Thunder. The 30-year-old guard is likely to see meaningful playing time early in the season with Kyrie Irving (knee) sidelined until at least January.

Exum has not participated in the Mavericks' training camp practices for undisclosed reasons, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

It's not known why Exum has been inactive to start training camp, but it puts his availability for Monday's exhibition against Oklahoma City in doubt. Exum signed a veteran's minimum contract to remain with Dallas this offseason.

Exum agreed to a one-year deal with the Mavericks on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

According to Charania, Exum considered two other contenders in free agency, but he opted to return to Dallas. With Kyrie Irving (knee) expected to be sidelined through January, Exum could have a path to considerable minutes in the backcourt along with a new addition in D'Angelo Russell. Exum, who has struggled to stay healthy, appeared in 20 regular-season games in 2024-25 with averages of 8.7 points, 2.8 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 0.6 steals in 18.6 minutes per contest.

Exum is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Sunday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Exum returned from a 12-game absence Friday against the Raptors and finished with six points, three assists and one rebound over 14 minutes. He'll be in the Mavs' starting five Sunday for the first time since March 14, when he fractured his left hand.

Exum (hand) tallied six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three assists and one rebound across 14 minutes in Friday's 124-102 win over the Raptors.

Exum checked into the contest to begin the second quarter, marking his first appearance since he fractured his left hand March 14 in a loss to the Rockets. The veteran wing shot the ball well from downtown but committed three turnovers during his time on the court. Though he may continue to hold down a regular spot in the rotation in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Grizzlies and any subsequent playoff contests, Exum will likely struggle to crack 20 minutes in most games.

Exum (hand) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Exum was available to return Wednesday against the Lakers after an 11-game absence due to a fracture in his left hand, and he's been given the green light to suit up Friday. After the All-Star break and before sustaining the injury March 14, Exum had averaged 8.0 points, 2.4 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 steals over 19.8 minutes per game.

Exum (hand) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Raptors.

Exum was deemed available for Dallas' game against the Lakers on Wednesday after missing the team's previous 11 outings due to a fractured left hand. However, Exum did not receive any playing time, which could also happen if he's upgraded to available against Toronto.

Head coach Jason Kidd called Exum "very limited" for Wednesday's game against the Lakers and did not guarantee he would see the court, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Exum had missed 11 straight games due to a left hand fracture, and while he's been upgraded to available on the injury report, Kidd didn't commit to playing Exum against the Lakers on Wednesday. Even if he does take the floor, don't expect Exum to see significant run. Instead, Dallas will have to rely on Spencer Dinwiddie, Brandon Williams and Max Christie off the bench.

Exum (hand) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Tim Cato of AllDLLS.com reports.

Exum has been sidelined for the Mavericks' last 11 games after fracturing his left hand against the Rockets on March 14, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to be given the green light to return Wednesday. In the 15 games prior to his injury (including 10 starts), Exum averaged 9.7 points, 3.1 assists and 1.7 rebounds over 20.1 minutes per contest.

Exum (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers.

Exum was diagnosed with a left-hand fracture and was set to be re-evaluated in four weeks from March 15, but Exum has now received a questionable tag for Wednesday's contest. While it's unclear if the 29-year-old guard will be able to suit up before the end of the regular season, it appears that he is progressing well in his recovery.

The Mavericks announced Saturday that Exum has been diagnosed with a left hand fracture and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.

Exum suffered his injury during Friday's game against the Rockets and will likely miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. With Dallas currently sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference, the Mavericks will need to go on a deep run in the playoffs without Kyrie Irving (knee) and potentially Anthony Davis (adductor) in order to give Exum a chance of returning to action.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd acknowledged after Friday's 133-96 loss to the Rockets that Exum will likely miss the rest of the season with a fractured left hand, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Kidd's comments indicate that Exum will most likely require surgery to address the injury, which he sustained in the second quarter of Friday's contest. Exum didn't make his 2024-25 debut until Jan. 31 after he fractured his right wrist in training camp and required surgery. The 29-year-old guard appeared in 18 games (12 starts) for Dallas this season, averaging 9.1 points, 2.8 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers in 19.1 minutes per contest while shooting 48 percent from the field. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Exum suffered a broken bone in his left hand in the second quarter of Friday's game against the Rockets and is out indefinitely, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

In yet another injury blow to the Mavericks, Exum is expected to be sidelined with no timetable to return after breaking a bone in his left hand Friday. More tests are needed to determine the exact severity of the injury, but it's possible that Friday may have been Exum's last game of the regular season. Spencer Dinwiddie started for Exum in the second half, and the former will likely be moved into the Mavericks' starting lineup for as long as the latter is sidelined.

Exum (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the second quarter of Friday's game against the Rockets, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Exum was on the Mavericks' injury report with right hamstring tightness before Friday's game, but whether his exit is related has yet to be announced. Spencer Dinwiddie and Max Christie would be in line to see more minutes if Exum is unable to return.

Exum (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against Houston.

Exum is nursing right hamstring tightness, but the issue won't stop him from playing Friday. The veteran guard should be able to handle his normal workload against the Rockets. Over his last 10 contests, Exum has averaged 8.0 points, 2.4 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 19.9 minutes while shooting 43.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Exum (hamstring) is questionable to play in Friday's matchup with Houston.

Exum was able to play through his hamstring injury Wednesday night, dropping 17 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a steal across 22 minutes. With the Mavericks being shorthanded heading into Friday, they may need Exum to be a big part of their offense against the Rockets, but if he can't go, expect Spencer Dinwiddie and Brandon Williams to see extended minutes.

Exum (hamstring) has been cleared to play Wednesday against the Spurs.

Exum has played in 16 games for the Mavericks this season. The veteran guard is averaging 9.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, shooting 46.1 percent from the floor and 43.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Exum is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Spurs due to right hamstring tightness.

Exum entered Dallas' starting lineup against San Antonio on Monday but is in danger of missing Wednesday's rematch due to a hamstring injury. If Exum is forced to sit out, Spencer Dinwiddie will likely receive an increased role.

Exum is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Spurs on Monday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

The Mavericks are dealing with a slew of injuries, so Exum will return to the starting lineup Monday. As a starter this season, Exum has averaged 10.2 points, 4.0 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 0.7 steals over 20.7 minutes per game, and he should see plenty of minutes Monday.

Exum ended with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 125-116 loss to the Suns.

Exum returned to the Mavericks bench Sunday after starting the last two contests, giving Dallas a boost on the second unit by leading all bench players in scoring and threes made in a losing effort. Exum has reached double figures in scoring in six contests, connecting on two or more threes in three of those outings.

Exum has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to a right foot contusion.

This is a new injury for Exum, who was averaging 19.2 minutes per game over his last 13 appearances. It's unclear how serious the injury is, but when Exum is cleared to suit up again, he'll be in store for increased playing time given Kyrie Irving (knee) is out for the season.

Exum is starting Monday's game against the Kings, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

The Mavs are making several changes to the first unit Monday, giving Exum a chance to make his first start since Feb. 23. He's averaging 10.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists in his last four games as a starter.

Exum (face) is not spotted on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Hornets.

Exum did not return after taking an elbow to the face in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, but he doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Thursday's action. The veteran guard should be able to handle a normal workload against Charlotte.

Exum took an elbow to the face from an opposing player during the third quarter and was unable to return. The 29-year-old's status will be something to monitor ahead of Thursday's game against the Hornets, though if he's sidelined Thursday, Max Christie, Naji Marshall and Spencer Dinwiddie are all candidates for a slight bump in playing time.

Exum exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent facial injury during the third quarter of Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Exum took an elbow to the face from an opposing player and stayed on the ground for an extended period before heading to the locker room. If the 29-year-old is unable to return, Naji Marshall and Max Christie will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Exum is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

The Mavs are tweaking their lineup for this contest, and Exum will head to the bench to allow Max Christie, a former Laker, to enter the starting unit. Exum has started in all but one of his eight appearances in February, averaging 11.0 points, 4.3 assists and 1.5 rebounds per game.

Exum closed with a team-high 27 points (11-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 24 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 victory over the Heat.

The Mavericks were missing their entire usual starting lineup, from Kyrie Irving (shoulder) to Anthony Davis (thigh), but Exum made his return from a one-game absence due to an Achilles issue and delivered his best scoring effort of the season to lead his team to victory. Exum has gotten the start in five of his last six appearances while P.J. Washington deals with a sprained ankle, averaging 13.2 points, 4.2 assists, 1.7 boards, 1.3 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 56.6 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (8-for-16) from beyond the arc.

Exum will return to game action after missing Wednesday's win over the Warriors due to left Achilles tightness.

Exum is dealing with inflammation in his left Achilles and will be inactive for the first leg of Dallas' back-to-back set. The severely short-handed Mavs will likely turn to Max Christie, Jaden Hardy, Kessler Edwards and Olivier-Maxence Prosper for significant minutes on the perimeter.

Exum (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Exum is dealing with left Achilles tightness ahead of the front end of the Mavericks' back-to-back Wednesday. If the veteran guard can't play against Golden State, either Max Christie or Spencer Dinwiddie could get a chance to ride with the starters.

Exum will start in Monday's game against Sacramento, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.

With P.J. Washington (ankle) and Anthony Davis (thigh) both sidelined, Exum will enter the starting five. Exum is averaging 10.0 points, 3.2 assists and 1.4 rebounds across 19.2 minutes per game through five regular-season outings (three starts). The 29-year-old missed the club' s first 48 games due to a wrist injury, and he'll likely continue to operate under a minutes restriction Monday.

Exum (Achilles) is available for Monday's game against the Kings, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Exum popped up on Sunday's injury report due to left Achilles tightness, but the injury isn't severe enough for him to be held out of Monday's contest. In the five games since returning from a wrist injury, Exum has averaged 10.0 points on 48.6 percent shooting, 3.2 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 0.6 steals over 19.2 minutes per game.

Exum is (Achilles) listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.

Exum missed the first 48 games of the regular season due to a wrist injury, and he now finds himself back on the injury report due to left Achilles tightness. If the 29-year-old is ruled out, Naji Marshall and Max Christie (shoulder) could see an uptick in playing time. Exum has appeared in five consecutive contests (three starts), during which he has averaged 10.0 points, 3.2 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per contest.

Exum isn't in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

P.J. Washington will reclaim his starting spot from Exum on Saturday after missing Dallas' previous three contests due to personal reasons. Exum will likely operate as one of Dallas' primary bench options against Houston.

Exum got the starting nod Sunday with Kyrie Irving (shoulder) inactive, struggling to find his shot a bit but still managing to finish as one of six Mavericks with a double-digit point total in a blowout loss. After his lengthy absence to start the year, Exum has taken the court in two games, putting together his best outing of the year Sunday against Cleveland.

Exum will start in Sunday's game against Cleveland, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.

With Kyrie Irving (shoulder) sidelined, Exum will start in just his second game back from a right wrist injury. It wouldn't be surprising if the 29-year-old swingman remains under a minutes restriction following his season debut, during which he tallied three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to Detroit.

Exum (wrist) recorded three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes off the bench Friday in the Mavericks' 117-102 loss to the Pistons.

Making his season debut after completing a lengthy recovery from the right wrist injury he suffered in training camp that ultimately required surgery, Exum stepped into the Dallas rotation and handled a modest role. Considering that he averaged 19.8 minutes per game in 2023-24 and Dallas arguably has better wing depth on hand this season compared to last, Exum may not see a dramatic uptick in his playing time in future contests.

Exum (wrist) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Pistons.

Exum will make his season debut Friday for the Mavericks after rehabbing from right wrist surgery. The veteran guard should give Dallas a much-needed boost off the bench, but he'll likely play limited minutes to get back up to speed after missing so much time. Last season, he averaged 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 19.8 minutes per game.

Exum (wrist) is on course to make his season debut Friday against Detroit and is expected to play limited minutes, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Exum is now expected to play Friday after missing the Mavericks' 48 games of the 2024-25 season while recovering from right wrist surgery. Until he's able to work his way fully back into game shape, Exum will likely play fewer than the 19.8 minutes per contest he averaged in 2023-24.

Exum (wrist) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Exum has yet to play a game this season for the Mavericks as he continues to work his way back from surgery on his right wrist. It seems he's getting closer to making his season debut, but his status remains uncertain until that happens.

Exum (wrist) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Although Exum's 2024-25 regular-season debut won't come Wednesday, head coach Jason Kidd didn't rule out the guard playing at some point during Dallas' current five-game road trip, which ends Feb. 6 against the Celtics. In the interim, Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes should continue playing significant roles for the Mavericks.

Exum (wrist) has been listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Exum has yet to play a game for the Mavericks during the 2024-25 campaign, and it appears that trend will continue Wednesday. The 28-year-old guard seems to be getting closer to returning to the floor, but that likely won't happen in New Orleans.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Thursday that Exum (wrist) hasn't yet been cleared for contact and is without a timeline for making his season debut, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. "There is a lot of time between today and when he's supposed to come back," Kidd said of Exum.

Exum has been able to take part in pregame workouts with the Mavericks recently as part of his recovery program for the right wrist surgery he underwent in early October, but the 29-year-old has yet to make enough progress to gain clearance for practices or scrimmaging. His absence appears likely to stretch into February.

Exum (wrist) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Per Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Monday that Exum has been able to resume shooting with his surgically repaired right wrist, but he's "still a ways away" before having an established timeline for a return to game action. Given the update provided by Kidd, Exum can probably be considered week-to-week rather than day-to-day at this point in his rehab program.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said after Saturday's practice that Exum is making progress in his recovery from right wrist surgery, but the veteran guard isn't yet taking contact, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports. "I think he's out to the three-point line shooting now. A lot of positives there," Kidd said of Exum. "It's just a matter of getting the scheduled appointment to check to see how the wrist is doing and go from there. He's in great shape. He's done a lot of solo workouts. I think he's ex

Exum underwent surgery Oct. 9, with estimates at the time calling for him to miss around three months. He's now reached the end of that three-month timeline, and though Exum doesn't seem to have hit any snags in his recovery, he'll still need more time to get reconditioned and take contact before being cleared for his season debut. A firmer target date for Exum's return may come once he has another checkup with his surgeon, who could then give the 29-year-old the green light to ramp up his activity in practices.

Exum (wrist) remains listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Exum was tabbed for a three-month recovery period after undergoing right wrist surgery in October, and the Mavs have not yet offered an update on his status. The veteran guard can be labeled doubtful for game action until that happens, and he can be regarded as out indefinitely going forward. In Exum's absence, Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy remain options for significant roles in Dallas' injury-riddled backcourt.

Exum underwent surgery on his right wrist Tuesday, Grant Afseth of EssentiallySports.com reports.

Exum suffered this injury during training camp, and while a timetable has yet to be announced, he's likely going to miss significant time. This is a tough blow for Dallas, as Exum was solid last season with averages of 7.8 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 55 regular-season appearances. Guys like Jaden Hardy, Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes could see a bump in minutes with this news.

Exum has sustained a right wrist injury that could require surgery, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Treatment options are being evaluated for Exum, though he could miss a significant amount of time due to the injury. The 29-year-old typically served as a Spark off the bench last season, during which he averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds across 19.8 minutes per game in 55 regular-season appearances (17 starts).

Exum (finger) was a full participant Monday in the Australian national team's practice and is expected to be available for Tuesday's matchup with Canada in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Kane Pitman of ESPN.com reports.

Barring any last-minute setbacks, Exum should make his debut in Paris after he sat out Australia's 92-80 win over Spain in the Olympic opener for both teams Saturday. Exum previously dislocated his finger during an exhibition game against France last week.

There's growing optimism Exum (finger) will be available to play against Canada on Tuesday, freelance basketball reporter Kane Pitman reports.

Exum missed Australia's Olympic opener against Spain on Saturday due to a dislocated finger he suffered during an exhibition against France earlier in the month. The 29-year-old took part in contract drills Sunday without any issues. If he's able to play Tuesday, Exum would compete with the likes of Josh Giddey, Dyson Daniels and Patty Mills for minutes as part of a deep Australian backcourt.

Exum (finger) did not appear in Australia's 92-80 win over Spain in the Paris Olympics on Saturday, BasketNews.com reports.

Exum is currently dealing with a compound dislocation on his finger, but says he has been doing some workouts and is feeling good. After making a deep playoff run with the Mavericks in 2023-24, the 29-year-old could miss significant time in the Olympics as Australia aims to compete for a medal. Exum's next chance to suit up will come Monday in what should be a highly competitive matchup against Canada.

Exum dislocated his right index finger against France in an exhibition and will likely miss Australia's opening match of the Olympics on Saturday. However, Exum was able to avoid surgery and his next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Nigeria.

Exum suffered a compound dislocation of one of his fingers Sunday in the second quarter of the Australian national basketball team's 83-82 win over France, the Australian Associated Press reports.

Fortunately for Exum, scans on his finger revealed no fractures, and the expectation is that the 29-year-old will be ready to go for Australian's 2024 Summer Olympics opening game this coming Saturday versus Spain. Assuming Exum is able to play Saturday and experiences no setbacks during Australia's run during the Olympics, he shouldn't face any restrictions when he rejoins the Mavericks for the start of training camp in the fall.

Exum finished with zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one block across six minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 victory over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Exum saw just six minutes off the bench despite an ankle injury to Tim Hardaway. The Mavericks opted to go with size over speed, resulting in an important victory. With so much flexibility across their roster, Exum's role could fluctuate significantly moving forward.

Exum (foot) is not in the official injury report and will be available with no limitations for Game 1 of the series against the Clippers on Sunday.

Exum didn't play in the Mavericks' final game of the regular season since the coaching staff wanted to rest him before the start of the playoffs, but he shouldn't have any limitations for the series opener against the Clippers on Sunday. He should see his regular minutes off the bench going forward.

Exum won't play Sunday against the Thunder due to a right foot sprain.

This is likely a minor issue for Exum, as the Mavericks are holding out the bulk of their rotation for the season finale. Barring a surprise, Exum should be ready to roll for the playoffs.

Exum will start against the Pistons on Friday, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are both being held out for rest, so Exum could potentially see a healthy workload Friday. As a starter this season, Exum holds averages of 13.8 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers.

Exum had 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 147-136 overtime win over the Rockets.

With Luka Doncic (ankle) back in the lineup Sunday, Exum returned to the bench. He was still able to score in double digits and play 30-plus minutes for a second straight game. Exum's biggest moment came in the final moments of the fourth quarter, when he drained a last-second three on a pass from Doncic to force overtime. Since returning from a 13-game absence due to knee issues, Exum is averaging 6.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 20.4 minutes per game.

Exum won't start Sunday's game against the Rockets.

With Luka Doncic (knee) sidelined for the second half of a back-to-back set, Exum drew a spot start Friday versus the Warriors and posted 11 points and seven assists in 33 minutes during a 108-106 win. Exum should still play between 18 and 25 minutes off the bench Sunday.

Exum will get the start at point guard in Friday's game against the Warriors.

With Luka Doncic (knee) sidelined, Exum will get the spot-start. The 28-year-old has averaged 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists across 29.1 minutes in 15 starts this season.

Exum closed with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 107-103 victory over Sacramento.

Exum's effort highlighted Dallas' depth at almost every position as he hit the clutch shot when it counted. While few can mimic Luka Doncic's production, Exum performed admirably during the All-Star's recent absences after rebounding from his own set of maladies. He's unlikely to find his way back into the starting lineup unless Doncic or Irving take a night off, but he'll provide support with the second unit down the stretch.

Exum (heel) is active for Tuesday's game against San Antonio.

Exum will suit up for his 11th consecutive contest Tuesday, and he has ramped up to averaging 21.0 minutes across his last four appearances. Dallas' rotation will be at full strength with the exception of Josh Green, who is set for an extended absence due to an ankle sprain.

Exum (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Exum continues to manage a right plantar fascia strain but should suit up for an 11th straight game. Over his past 10 appearances, he's averaged 5.4 points, 2.9 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game.

Exum (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Exum is available but will come off the bench, as Luka Doncic (hamstring) is returning from a one-game absence. Over his last nine appearances (one start), Exum has averaged 5.1 points, 3.1 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game.

Exum is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nuggets due to a right plantar fascia sprain, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Exum started in Dallas' last contest with Luka Doncic (ankle) out. However, if Exum is unable to suit up Sunday, Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway could receive increased playing time.

Exum finished Thursday's 126-119 loss to the Thunder with seven points (2-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two assists in 22 minutes.

Exum started in place of the injured Luka Doncic (ankle), contributing offensively while ending three points of the double-digit mark to go along with a pair of assists. Exum has started in 15 games this season, finishing with seven or more points in 13 of those outings. He has now tallied at least seven points and two dimes in two straight contests.

Exum will start Thursday's game versus the Thunder.

Luka Doncic (ankle) is being held out of Thursday's game, but he will be re-evaluated before Sunday's game against the Nuggets. In 14 starts this season, Exum holds averages of 14.5 points, 4.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers.

Exum registered 13 points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 17 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 win over the Heat.

Exum missed 22 of 24 games between Jan. 3 and Feb. 27 due to knee and heel injuries. His production had been modest in his first four appearances following his return, but he looked strong during Thursday's win. In December, Exum carved out a starting role and averaged 16.2 points, 4.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 31.5 minutes over a 12-game stretch. With Dallas at full strength, Exum's path back to the starting five is cloudy, but Derrick Jones saw only 12 minutes as a starter Thursday, suggesting a lineup change could be coming.

Exum (knee) tallied four points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists and three rebounds across 17 minutes Wednesday in the Mavericks' 136-125 win over the Raptors.

Playing for the first time since Jan. 26, Exum ranked eighth among Mavericks players in minutes, narrowly finishing ahead of Derrick Jones. Dallas was without Maxi Kleber (toe) on Wednesday, so Exum and Jones could both see their playing time get squeezed a bit Friday in Boston if the Mavericks are back to full strength. Exum likely won't warrant much consideration outside of deeper fantasy leagues if he remains stuck in a sub-20-minute role.

Exum (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Exum is back after a 13-game absence, so he'll likely be on some strict minutes restrictions Wednesday, making him an unattractive fantasy target in most formats.

Exum (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Exum has been sidelined since Jan. 26 due to heel and knee issues, but he's expected to have the green light to return Wednesday. While there's no word of any restrictions just yet, it's very likely that the Mavericks will ease him back into things.

Exum (knee) will not play Tuesday versus Cleveland, but he has a "good chance" of suiting up Wednesday versus Toronto, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Exum has logged just two appearances since Jan. 1 while dealing with heal and knee injuries, but he appears to be nearing a return from the ongoing right knee inflammation that has plagued him of late. The Mavericks rotation will need to be monitored upon his eventual return, with Tim Hardaway and Josh Green (elbow) representing his primary competition for minutes.

Exum (knee) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

While Exum likely won't play Tuesday, he returned to practice Monday and isn't being immediately ruled out, which are both positive signs of his availability moving forward. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Toronto, but given the lengthy absence, Exum will probably be limited during his return.

Exum (knee) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Pacers.

Exum will miss his 12th straight game Sunday due to a right knee injury. His next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Cleveland.

Exum (knee) is listed as out for Thursday's game versus Phoenix.

Exum's absence streak will extend to 11 games Thursday while dealing with right knee bursitis. The 28-year-old guard's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Indiana.

Exum (knee) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Exum has missed Dallas' last 10 contests due to right knee inflammation. While fantasy managers should wait for an official injury report to clarify Exum's status for Thursday's matchup with Dallas, the 28-year-old guard will likely have to log at least one practice before seeing any game action.

Exum (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Exum hasn't played since Jan. 26 due to right knee bursitis and will get a 10th straight game off to recover from the injury before the Mavericks head into their All-Star break. The 2014 lottery pick had emerged as a key rotation piece for Dallas prior to injuring his knee, but he may have only a minor role waiting for him if cleared to play when the Mavericks open their second-half schedule Feb. 22 versus Phoenix. Dallas otherwise has all its key guards and wings available after both Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic missed multiple games in late December, when Exum turned in his best run of production of the season.

Exum (knee) will not play Monday versus Washington, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Exum has not taken the court since Jan. 26 due to right knee soreness, and he has logged just two appearances since Jan. 1 due to a combination of knee and heel injuries. Josh Green has logged a heavy workload in his stead, averaging 12.5 points in 32.1 minutes across his last 15 games.

Exum (knee) is out for Saturday's game versus the Thunder.

Exum will miss his eighth straight game Saturday due to a right knee injury. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Washington.

Exum (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Exum will be unavailable for a seventh consecutive game due to a right knee injury. A timetable for his return isn't yet clear.

Exum (knee) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Nets.

This will be the sixth straight game on the shelf for Exum, and he remains without a timetable for a return.

Exum (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Exum will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game due to right knee soreness. Jaden Hardy is a candidate to see increased run once again.

Exum (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Milwaukee, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Exum continues to deal with a sore right knee and will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game. His next chance to suit up will be Monday against the 76ers.

Exum (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

The Mavs will be without Exum, Kyrie Irving (thumb) and Luka Doncic (ankle) Thursday evening, so Jaden Hardy should get all the run he can handle and is an attractive target in all leagues. Exum's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Bucks.

Exum (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Exum is expected to miss his third straight contest while dealing with right knee soreness. With Luka Doncic (ankle) and Kyrie Irving (thumb) out, Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway should receive increased playing time.

Exum (knee) won't play Monday against Orlando, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Exum was labeled as questionable due to a right knee injury, and the team has since decided that he'll miss his second straight game while on the mend. Look for Tim Hardaway and Olivier-Maxence Prosper to pick up extra minutes in Exum's absence.

Exum (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Magic.

Exum was a late scratch for Saturday's loss to the Kings due to right knee soreness and is in danger of missing another contest. With Kyrie Irving (thumb) already ruled out, Josh Green, Tim Hardaway and Jaden Hardy are candidates for increased roles regardless of Exum's availability.

Exum won't play in Saturday's game against the Kings due to right knee soreness, Mark Followill of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Exum wasn't listed on the injury report prior to being ruled out. With Kyrie Irving (thumb) also sidelined), expect Josh Green, Tim Hardaway and Jaden Hardy to see expanded roles. Exum's next chance to play will come Monday against the Magic.

Exum (heel) produced six points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 132-109 loss to the Suns.

Exum was back in action after missing nine straight games due to a plantar sprain in his right foot and was deployed with the second unit even though he had started in each of his previous 14 appearances. Though Exum emerged as a roster-worthy option in 12- and even some 10-team leagues while averaging 14.5 points, 4.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers and 0.7 steals in 29.7 minutes and shooting 60.8 percent from the field during his run as a starter, Dallas was without Kyrie Irving for all but three of those contests and without Luka Doncic for two of those games. Now that both Doncic and Irving are healthy, Exum's window for taking on meaningful usage and big minutes appears to have come to a close. Exum could have a chance to re-emerge as a starter at small forward once he's further removed from his heel injury, though Josh Green has performed well on the top unit in recent games and maintains the job for now.

Exum (heel) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Exum may have his minutes monitored in his first game back following a nine-game absence, so he's a semi-risky target in daily fantasy leagues. However, he's been playing excellent ball in Dallas, so he could be worth a speculative add in season-long settings.

Exum (heel) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Exum has missed nine straight games due to a right heel injury, but he was a full participant in Monday's practice and appears to be nearing a return to game action. Before the injury, Exum was playing arguably the best ball of his career, averaging 14.5 points, 4.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 29.7 minutes across 14 straight starts. It's unclear what type of role he'll occupy when he's cleared to suit up again, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him under a minute limit for at least a few games.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Monday that Exum (heel) was able to do "everything" at Sunday's practice and should be ready to resume playing "soon," Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Exum remained sidelined for Monday's 119-110 loss to the Celtics, marking his ninth consecutive absence due to a plantar sprain in his right heel. Kidd noted that Exum was able to do some spot shooting Monday, and the Mavericks will see how the 28-year-old's heel is feeling Tuesday before reaching a determination on his status for Wednesday's contest versus the Suns. Before Exum went down with the injury, Kidd had previously suggested that the 2014 lottery pick would retain a spot in the starting five moving forward, though Exum's extended absence could change those plans. He'll primarily be competing with the likes of Josh Green, Tim Hardaway, and Jaden Hardy for rotational minutes at guard and on the wing.

Exum (heel) will not play in Monday's game against the Celtics.

Exum has been sidelined since Jan. 3, although he has ramped up his activity in practice. He should be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Exum (heel) has been upgraded to doubtful for Monday's game against Boston, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Exum has been sidelined since Jan. 3 due to a right plantar fascia sprain, although he ascended to a partial practice participant on Friday and participated at full capacity Sunday. The 28-year-old partaking in contact drills Sunday is a recovery milestone, indicating that a return is near despite currently being tagged as doubtful.

Exum (heel) went through some non-contact work during Friday's practice but wasn't able to fully participate, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Exum has missed Dallas' last eight games due to a right heel injury. However, Exum appears to be nearing a return, with Monday's matchup with Boston being his next chance to suit up.

Exum (heel) will remain out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

This will be the eighth straight game on the shelf for Exum, and he remains without a timetable for a return. Exum's next chance to play will be Friday against the Warriors.

Exum (heel) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Exum has dealt with a right plantar fascia sprain recently and will be sidelined for a seventh consecutive matchup. His next chance to return will be Wednesday against the Lakers.

Exum (heel) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Exum will miss a sixth straight game due to a right plantar fascia sprain. The Australian wing was in the midst of arguably his best NBA stretch before suffering the injury, averaging 16.2 points, 4.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 31.5 minutes across 12 appearances from Dec. 8-30. However, when he's cleared, Exum may see a reduced role if both Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic (ankle) are healthy.

Exum (heel) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Knicks.

Exum's absence streak will extend to five games Thursday due to a right plantar fascia sprain. His next chance to suit up will be Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans.

Exum (heel) is out for Tuesday's game against Memphis.

Exum will miss his fourth consecutive game due to a right plantar fascia sprain, which is an injury he's dealt with since the end of December. Josh Green will likely continue starting in his stead Tuesday, while the rest of Exum's role has been crowdsourced by Dallas' wing cast.

Exum (heel) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Exum's absence streak will extend to three games Sunday due to a right plant fascia sprain. Exum's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Memphis.

Exum (heel) won't play in Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Exum will miss his second straight game Friday after being downgraded from doubtful to out with a right heel contusion. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Minnesota.

Exum (heel) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Exum was also listed as doubtful for Wednesday before being ruled out due to a right heel contusion. Josh Green will likely start once again Friday if Exum is ultimately unable to suit up.

Exum (heel) will not play in Wednesday's game against Portland.

No surprise here, as Exum was previously labeled as doubtful. Exum's heel injury has been lingering, and he aggravated it in Monday's loss to Utah. His next chance to suit up is Friday in a rematch versus Portland. With Exum sidelined, Tim Hardaway could absorb a handful of minutes in addition to Jaden Hardy.

Exum (heel) is listed as doubtful to play Wednesday against Portland.

Exum aggravated a right heel contusion in Monday's loss to Utah. Injury aggravations are concerning, but Exum being ruled doubtful instead of out can be considered a silver lining.

Exum won't return to Monday's game against the Jazz due to a right heel contusion, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Exum was originally a game-time call for Monday due to the same issue, so it appears that he's aggravated the injury. Josh Green and Derrick Jones should be in line for additional opportunities in Exum's absence.

Exum (heel) has been cleared to play Monday against Utah.

Exum was spotted taking part in the team's pregame warmups, and he's since been given the green light to play. He's been solid on the offensive end of late, averaging 14.0 points to go with 3.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five matchups.

Exum is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus Utah due to a right heel contusion.

This is a new injury for Exum, but it appears that he'll be day-to-day. The Mavericks have also listed Luka Doncic (quadriceps), Kyrie Irving (heel) and Seth Curry (illness) as questionable. It's worth noting that coach Jason Kidd has previously said that he plans to keep Exum in the starting lineup when Irving is ready to return, so fantasy managers will want to stick with him.

Exum notched 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 loss to the Cavaliers.

Exum didn't put up a prolific scoring effort Wednesday, but he was at least efficient offensively with a 4-for-8 mark from the field and a 4-for-4 effort at the charity stripe. The veteran added a team-leading three steals along with six assists and four boards to finish with a modest but well-rounded overall line. Exum has started in each of his past 11 appearances with Kyrie Irving (heel) out of action, averaging 15.4 points, 4.4 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.8 triples and 1.1 steals over 31.5 minutes during that span. Those are good enough numbers to warrant fantasy consideration, though managers should be aware that Irving's eventual return will likely dent Exum's playing time and production.

Exum ended with 20 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block across 32 minutes during Saturday's 144-119 win over San Antonio.

The Mavericks didn't have problems topping the Spurs before Christmas, and Exum played a prominent role in the win due to his outstanding shooting. Exum has been excellent since being promoted to the starting unit on Dec. 6, averaging 16.6 points per game while shooting 64 percent from the field in that span. The shooting numbers are not going to remain in that level, but he remains an excellent scoring weapon alongside Luka Doncic in the backcourt while Kyrie Irving (heel) remains out.

Exum is in the starting lineup to face the Spurs on Saturday, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Exum missed Friday's game against the Rockets with a lower leg bruise, but he will be available and in the starting unit for the second half of the back-to-back set. He'll start alongside Luka Doncic, Tim Hardaway, Derrick Jones and Grant Williams.

Exum (lower leg) isn't listed on the Mavericks injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Exum was sidelined Friday with a lower leg bruise, but he'll be back in action for the closing leg of the team's back-to-back set. While Luka Doncic (quadriceps) will also be active, Exum should remain in the starting lineup with Kyrie Irving (heel) and Josh Green (elbow) sidelined. Since joining the first unit on Dec. 6, Exum is averaging 16.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists over 31.0 minutes per game.

Exum will not play in Friday's game versus Houston due to a left lower leg contusion.

This is a new injury for Exum, but hopefully it's just a day-to-day issue. This is a brutal blow for Dallas, as they will also be without Kyrie Irving (heel), Luka Doncic (quadriceps) and Josh Green (elbow). With Seth Curry (back) questionable, we may see a heavy dose of Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway.

Exum is starting Monday's game against Denver, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Exum will make his seventh consecutive start Monday. He's been on a tear over his last five games, averaging 19.4 points on 67.9 percent shooting over that span.

Exum amassed 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 119-101 loss to the Timberwolves.

Exum has done a solid job replacing Kyrie Irving (heel) in the starting lineup, and while he has been limited to operate as an outside, spot-up shooter while Luka Doncic handles the offense, he's benefiting from the role and showing an accurate touch from beyond the arc. Exum has started in each of Dallas' last five games, a span in which he's averaging 16.8 points per game while shooting 56.5 percent from three-point range.

Exum recorded 26 points (8-10 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 127-125 victory over the Lakers.

Exum remained in the starting lineup for a fourth consecutive game Tuesday, and he topped 20 points for the second time in the last three matchups. While Exum could see his role decrease as some of his teammates get healthier, he's shot 63.9 percent from the floor over his last three appearances while averaging 21.7 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 34.7 minutes per game during that time, and his recent results may earn him sustained opportunities.

Exum chipped in 23 points (9-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 125-112 win over the Trail Blazers.

Exum delivered a stellar all-around effort in his second start of the season. His first night with the first unit was uninspiring, but Grant Williams (knee) might see his minutes dip if Exum can keep humming on all cylinders. Exum hit a season-high in minutes, scoring and assists in the decisive win.

Exum posted five points (2-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 147-97 victory over the Jazz.

Exum made his first start of the season Wednesday but struggled with his efficiency from inside and outside the arc. However, the 28-year-old guard posted season highs in assists, steals and minutes. Exum could remain in the starting lineup until Grant Williams (knee) returns.

Exum will join the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Fresh off a two-game absence for personal reasons, Exum will make his first start of 2023-24 on Wednesday. With the trio of Maxi Kleber (toe), Grant Williams (knee) and Josh Green (elbow) sidelined, Exum will slot in alongside Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Derrick Jones and Dereck Lively in the starting lineup. In his last 10 appearances, Exum is averaging 6.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 13.8 minutes.

Exum (personal) was back at practice Monday, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Exum was away from the Mavericks for the past two games, but he'll be available to return for Wednesday's game against the Jazz. In his most recent game against the Rockets on Nov. 28, Exum played well with 12 points, three assists, one rebound and one steal in 15 minutes.

Exum (personal) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Thunder due to personal reasons.

Exum will miss his second straight game Saturday due to personal reasons. His next opportunity to play is Wednesday's matchup with Utah.

Exum is listed as out for Friday's contest versus Memphis due to personal reasons.

With Exum and Luka Doncic (personal) out, Kyrie Irving, Jaden Hardy and Seth Curry will likely receive extended minutes in the backcourt against the Grizzlies. Exum's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Thunder.

Exum dropped a season-high 12 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT) along with three assists, one rebound and one steal in Tuesday's 121-115 victory over the Rockets.

Exum seems to have embraced his role as the backup point guard, and he has been rewarded with a steady increase in minutes, as he averaged 14.4 minutes per game in his last nine contests compared to only 5.3 minutes per game in his first six. After being a healthy scratch against the Magic on Nov. 6, Exum has averaged 6.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.1 blocks across 13.8 minutes since then.

Exum supplied nine points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists over 12 minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 loss to the Pelicans.

Exum has played double-digit minutes in three straight games. During that stretch, he's averaged 7.7 points, 3.0 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 14.3 minutes per game. That's not enough production to crack fantasy radars in standard leagues, but he's someone to keep an eye on if Luka Doncic or Kyrie Irving is sidelined in the future.

Exum ended Wednesday's 114-105 win over Chicago with two points (1-3 FG), two rebounds and one steal across 10 minutes.

Exum saw a slight uptick in his playing time Wednesday without Kyrie Irving (foot). However, Exum's average of 7.0 minutes per game across four appearances so far this season isn't enough to generate serious fantasy interest.

Exum will start Tuesday's exhibition versus Real Madrid.

Exum and Derrick Jones slide into the starting lineup Tuesday, sending Jaden Hardy and Josh Green to reserve roles. Exum posted five points, five assists and two rebounds in 20 minutes during Saturday's preseason loss to Minnesota.

Exum recorded five points (1-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 13 minutes during Thursday's preseason opener against the Timberwolves in Abu Dhabi.

Exum is back in the NBA for the first time since 2020-21. The 2014 No. 5 overall pick can certainly be considered a bust and isn't expected to carve out a major role for Dallas in 2023-24. However, he does great work defensively, which the Mavericks desperately need, and can bring a veteran mentality to a relatively young wing group that will likely rely heavily on youngsters like Josh Green and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Exum has signed a guaranteed contract with the Mavericks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Exum last played in the NBA during the 2020-21 season while he was with the Cavaliers, and he also has had stints with the Jazz and Rockets in The Association, though he never got to play for Houston before getting released. He's coming off of an excellent season with Partizan in Serbia, leading the club to the EuroLeague quarterfinals and the ABA Liga title, and now he'll have another shot in the NBA. He can add instant offense off the bench and is a good perimeter defender, but his main problem has been the lack of durability.
