US EditionMavs’ Dante Exum Out for Season After Knee Complications
Dante Exum's right knee complications from offseason surgery end his season, removing a key guard option for Dallas amid a challenging 4-12 start, team said.
- Thursday, the Dallas Mavericks announced Dante Exum will miss the remainder of the NBA season after right-knee complications required additional surgery.
- Persistent problems from an offseason procedure kept Exum from practicing as prior treatments failed, and Mavericks coach Jason Kidd reported right knee soreness on Oct. 11.
- Having re-signed with Dallas, Exum had not appeared this season and missed most of the previous year with right wrist and left hand injuries after an overseas stint.
- Dallas could waive Exum to open a roster spot, but the team is at the 15-player maximum and faces second apron hard-cap limits that restrict signings until January 6.
- The injury weakens Dallas's backcourt depth and complicates plans to cover Kyrie Irving's absence as the team has cycled through three different point guards including rookie Cooper Flagg.
