"He did some shooting, and that was it," Kidd said of Irving. "Hopefully we get him back soon."

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said after Saturday's practice that Exum is making progress in his recovery from right wrist surgery, but the veteran guard isn't yet taking contact, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports. "I think he's out to the three-point line shooting now. A lot of positives there," Kidd said of Exum. "It's just a matter of getting the scheduled appointment to check to see how the wrist is doing and go from there. He's in great shape. He's done a lot of solo workouts. I think he's excited to test the wrist out when he's cleared to do that."
