Top Dante Exum News

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Used sparingly in win

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Not listed on injury report

    Exum (foot) is not on the official injury report and will be available for Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Clippers on Sunday.

    Exum didn't play in the Mavericks' final game of the regular season since the training staff wanted him to rest a lingering foot injury before the playoffs. He shouldn't have any limitations for the series opener against the Clippers on Sunday and should see his regular minutes off the bench.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Won't suit up Sunday

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Starting against Pistons

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Forces overtime vs. Houston

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Back to bench

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Starting Friday

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Drains go-ahead three-pointer

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Suiting up Tuesday

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Likely available Tuesday

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Will play Sunday

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Iffy against Denver

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Plays 22 minutes as starter

    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 shy of the double-digit mark. He briefly left the game due to a head injury but was able to return and finish the contest. Exum has started in 15 games this season, finishing with seven or more points in 13 outings. He has now tallied at least seven points and two dimes in two straight contests.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Starting against Thunder

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Plays well in win

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Dishes out five assists in return

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Available for Wednesday

    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.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Probable for Wednesday

    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, the Mavericks will likely ease him back into things.

  • Mavericks' Dante Exum: Out Tuesday, return is near

    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.
