Impact 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.

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

Shut down vs. Utah 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.
Impact 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.

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

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

Registers 13/6/4 line in loss 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.
Impact 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.

Efficient shooting in win 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.
Impact 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.

Clears injury report Exum (lower leg) isn't listed on the Mavericks injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out versus Houston Exum will not play in Friday's game versus Houston due to a left lower leg contusion.
Impact 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.

Starting again Monday Exum is starting Monday's game against Denver, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Efficient shooter in loss Thursday 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.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Efficient in win 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.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Solid total in start 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.
Impact 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.
