Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will not be able to play this season for the Mavs, as the team announced that he will need a follow-up surgery after complications with an offseason knee procedure. He played 20 games last season with Dallas and averaged 8.7 points, 2.8 assists, and 1.7 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per game. The 30-year-old was on a one-year, $3 million deal with the Mavericks and will be a free agent after this season if he looks to return to action for the 2025-26 season.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (right knee) will remain sidelined for Monday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks due to injury management. The veteran guard has yet to play this season, and his absence continues to thin out Dallas' backcourt depth. With Kyrie Irving still out, expect Max Christie and Brandon Williams to maintain steady minutes, with D'Angelo Russell leading the playmaking and rookie Cooper Flagg occasionally running the offense. Exum's fantasy relevance remains minimal until he returns, but he's worth monitoring in very deep leagues given his efficiency and defensive versatility. Last season, he averaged 8.7 points, 2.8 assists, and shot 43 percent from three in limited minutes. Fantasy managers in standard formats should look elsewhere for short-term production while Exum's return timeline remains unclear.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) won't be available for Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. This comes as little surprise, as Exum continues to deal with a right knee issue and has yet to make his season debut. Health problems also limited him to just 20 appearances during the 2024-25 campaign, when he averaged 8.7 points and 2.8 assists. Given his extensive injury history, the 30-year-old is expected to have a minimal fantasy impact this season with restricted minutes when healthy.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) won't suit up for Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. This isn't surprising, as Exum has been dealing with a right knee problem throughout the preseason. Health issues also sidelined him for nearly the entire 2024-25 campaign, as Exum participated in only 20 games. He averaged 8.7 points and 2.8 assists. Brandon Williams and Max Christie are expected to handle the backup guard minutes in Wednesday's game. Although Williams has a higher fantasy ceiling, there may not be enough minutes available for either player to make a significant impact.

Free-agent guard Dante Exum agreed to a one-year deal to remain with the Dallas Mavericks. There was talk about a new contract over the last few months. However, with Dallas recently waiving Olivier-Maxence Prosper, the Mavs finally had the cap space needed to make it official. The 2014 No. 5 overall pick played overseas before returning to the National Basketball Association with the Mavericks, where he spent the last two seasons. He averaged a career-high 8.7 points per contest last season while shooting 43.4% from deep. With Kyrie Irving (knee) sidelined, Exum should see extra minutes to begin the 2025 campaign. That won't make him a consistently reliable fantasy option, although there could be streaming opportunities for managers throughout the year, especially if D'Angelo Russell misses time.

On Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports that free-agent guard Dante Exum has signed a one-year deal to remain with the Dallas Mavericks. Exum has dealt with several injuries throughout his NBA career and played in only 20 regular-season contests in 2024-25, averaging 8.7 points, 2.8 assists, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.6 steals in 18.6 minutes per game. If the 29-year-old can stay healthy, he could see a significant increase in playing time with Kyrie Irving(knee) expected to be out through January.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum is scheduled to become a free agent, but there is a good chance he will stick around in Texas. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Exum and the Mavericks have "mutual interest" to work out a new deal. The Australian veteran is coming off a two-year, $6.15 million contract and has been linked with a move to newly-crowned EuroLeague champion Fenerbahce in Turkey. He may also attract other suitors in the NBA, considering Exum enjoyed a career year in 2024-25 with a scoring average of 9.1 points in 19.1 minutes. He shot an impressive 44.7 percent from three-point range and dished out 2.8 assists. With Kyrie Irving (knee) expected to be out until at least January, Exum could play a larger role in the Mavericks rotation if he signs a new deal with the team, enhancing his fantasy value.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) suffered a fractured left wrist during Friday's loss to the Houston Rockets. He will be sidelined for at least a month, with the team providing updates when available. The 29-year-old missed three months to begin the 2024-25 campaign because of a wrist injury before returning at the end of January. When healthy, Exum had played well, averaging a career-high 9.1 points and shooting 44.7% from behind the arc. With Kyrie Irving (knee) ruled out for the rest of the season, Spencer Dinwiddie, Brandon Williams, and Max Christie should split time in the backcourt. At any rate, there's a chance Exum, who will be a free agent this summer, may not be back on the floor for any team until next season, considering Dallas is barely holding on to the final Play-In spot.

Dallas Mavericks guardDante Exum(hamstring) will suit up against the Houston Rockets on Friday. Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports that Exum has been dealing with right hamstring tightness and will be restricted to 20-to-25 minutes for Friday's matchup. The 29-year-old is averaging 9.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 19.8 minutes across 17 games. Exum could be a solid fantasy contributor once his minutes are increased moving forward due to a Mavs roster filled with injuries.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) will return from a one-game absence on Friday versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The Australian has shaken off a right foot contusion, with the team upgrading Exum's status from questionable to available. Dallas has a host of players missing, so it's not unreasonable to think that Exum can make a significant impact in Friday's game. In his most recent appearance, Exum was a starter, though he had a tough time in a 122-98 loss to the Sacramento Kings, shooting 2-for-10 from the field and finishing with five points and four assists while committing four turnovers.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) may return from a one-game absence after receiving a questionable tag on the injury report for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 29-year-old missed Wednesday's game due to a foot contusion but could already be ready to play again. In 13 games this season, Exum averages 9.2 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.6 rebounds per game. With the lengthy injury list, Exum could step right into a large role, and may even draw a start alongside Spencer Dinwiddie. If he doesn't suit up, Max Christie should continue to see big minutes.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forwardDante Exum(foot) won't play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Exum is dealing with a right foot contusion. Exum's next chance to suit up comes on Friday against the Grizzlies. If the 29-year-old is able to return soon, he will be in line to see plenty of extra minutes on the floor with Kyrie Irving(knee) now sidelined for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Dante Exum (Achilles) will suit up for Thursday's clash against the Miami Heat. He sat out Wednesday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors and was initially on the injury report with a questionable designation. The Mavericks receive much-needed help with Exum back, as the team is down to its bare bones with all regular starters sidelined. The versatile Australian may receive increased usage on Thursday, but it's important to note that Exum, who has an extensive injury history, hasn't played more than 21 minutes in any game this season.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (Achilles) is questionable Thursday due to Achilles tightness. The 29-year-old Australian has been limited to six games this season, averaging 19 minutes per game and producing 9.2 points, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 rebounds per contest. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Klay Thompson (foot) are also questionable, so Exum could end up in a big role if he's available. If the Mavs go into their final game before the All-Star break without Kyrie, Klay, and Exum, they will need other players to shoulder the offensive workload like Jalen Hardy, Spencer Dinwiddie, and new arrival Max Christie.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Exum has been nursing an Achilles issue, so the Mavs have decided to take the cautious approach during the front end of this back-to-back set. The hope is that Exum will play on Thursday, but it wouldn't be shocking if the Mavs hold him out until after the All-Star break. His absence means that Spencer Dinwiddie, Jaden Hardy, and Naji Marshall could all see increased roles in the rotation. Between the three, Dinwiddie is the best fantasy option after dropping 20 points or more in two of his last three games.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (Achilles) will play against the Sacramento Kings on Monday. He has shaken off a questionable tag to make his sixth consecutive appearance. Exum's season debut was delayed until Jan. 31. Since joining the lineup, he has averaged 10.0 points and 3.2 assists in 19.2 minutes. Following three consecutive starts, Exum was back on the bench on Saturday against the Houston Rockets and had a quiet four-point outing. He will aim to bounce back on Monday against a team with the 20th defensive rating in the league.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) will make his season debut on Friday against the Detroit Pistons, but he will have a minutes restriction. Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd has announced that Exum will not play more than 15 minutes. The Australian guard, who returned to the NBA last season, averaged 19.8 minutes in 2023-24, so he could be fairly close to his normal workload. Exum notched 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists a season ago. He will be a good addition to the Mavericks rotation but likely will not make much noise in fantasy basketball.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) has been upgraded to questionable on Friday for their contest against the Detroit Pistons. The 29-year-old had surgery on his wrist and hasn't been able to appear in a game yet this season. This is the first time he was upgraded to questionable which means if he doesn't play on Friday, he'll likely play at some point during their road trip. Last season, Exum averaged 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.0 threes across 19.8 minutes per contest. Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes will remain the top streaming options on the Mavericks while Luka Doncic (calf) remains sidelined as well.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) won't be ready for the season opener and is expected to miss a significant amount of time. Exum will require right wrist surgery that is going to sideline him for at least three months. The loss of Exum is certainly a hit to this Mavs bench heading into the regular season. Last year, Exum averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.7 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game across 55 games with Dallas. The 29-year-old put up his best numbers in years and finally looked like he found his groove in Dallas. Now, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy will likely be asked to pick up the slack with Exum sidelined to begin the season. Between the two, Dinwiddie figures to be the more attractive fantasy option.
