US EditionMavs Sign Cooper Flagg to Rookie Contract; Exum Is Returning, AP Source Says
DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 2 – Exum will share ball-handling duties with D'Angelo Russell and provide defensive depth as Kyrie Irving recovers from a torn ACL, having averaged 8.7 points in 20 games last season.
- The Dallas Mavericks agreed on July 2, 2025, to re-sign veteran guard Dante Exum to a one-year contract in Dallas.
- Exum decided to re-sign with Dallas, turning down offers from other teams, as the Mavericks seek additional backcourt support while nine-time All-Star Kyrie Irving remains sidelined with a knee injury expected to keep him out until at least January.
- Exum, limited to 20 games last season by a right wrist injury, will share ball-handling duties with new signing D'Angelo Russell.
- Exum averaged 8.7 points, 0.6 steals, and 2.8 assists last season, and the Mavericks now carry 16 guaranteed contracts requiring a roster move to fit him.
- His re-signing strengthens Dallas's guard rotation during Irving's absence but also pressures the team to create a roster spot under salary cap rules.
