DANTE EXUM NEWS

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

Impact 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.

Quin Snyder 'So Proud' of Mavs' Dante Exum Amid Successful NBA Comeback Dante Exum’s former Jazz and current Hawks coach Quin Snyder shared how he’s “so proud” of the Mavs guard’s NBA comeback.

JANUARY 27 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Delivers modest numbers in return 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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Puts in full practice 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 r...

Impact 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.

However, when he's cleared, Exum may see a reduced role if both Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic (ankle) are healthy.
