Dante Exum News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches in offensively in start 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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Thunder Exum will start Thursday's game versus the Thunder.

Impact 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.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 4 • SUNHERALD.COM

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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 27 • KANSASCITY.COM

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
