US EditionReport: Dante Exum Agrees to One-Year Deal with Dallas Mavericks
- On July 2, 2025, the Dallas Mavericks finalized a one-year contract to bring back 29-year-old guard Dante Exum, who will share playmaking responsibilities alongside D'Angelo Russell.
- The Mavericks acted to address their biggest offseason need for ball-handlers following Kyrie Irving's knee injury, sidelining him until at least mid-season.
- Exum played only 20 games in the 2024-25 season due to a right wrist injury and a fractured left hand, averaging 8.7 points and contributing defensively off the bench.
- The deal, confirmed by sources and reported by Shams Charania, will require Dallas to clear a roster spot to remain under the salary cap’s second apron, as noted by ESPN's Bobby Marks.
- Exum’s return provides valuable backcourt depth for the Mavericks, supporting D'Angelo Russell and filling the void during Irving’s recovery period.
