Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) won't be ready for the season opener and is expected to miss a significant amount of time. Exum will require right wrist surgery that is going to sideline him for at least three months. The loss of Exum is certainly a hit to this Mavs bench heading into the regular season. Last year, Exum averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.7 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game across 55 games with Dallas. The 29-year-old put up his best numbers in years and finally looked like he found his groove in Dallas. Now, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy will likely be asked to pick up the slack with Exum sidelined to begin the season. Between the two, Dinwiddie figures to be the more attractive fantasy option.
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (hand) could end up missing an extended period of time. Exum suffered a severe right wrist injury that could require surgery. The Mavs are evaluating treatment options, but it seems likely that Exum is going to miss the beginning of the regular season. Exum figured to serve as a depth option behind Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic on the perimeter. Now, Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes, and Jaden Hardy will likely absorb more playing time. The Mavs should give a timetable on Exum once they decide whether or not he'll have surgery.
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) has been upgraded from probable to available and will play against San Antonio on Tuesday. Exum hasn't made much noise in fantasy basketball since running into health issues in the middle of the campaign but is currently in a position to play a bigger role for the team, as Josh Green (ankle) is out of the lineup. Across two prior meetings with the Spurs this season, Exum has averaged 11.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 20.0 minutes.
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) is expected to make his 11th straight appearance on Tuesday versus San Antonio, as the team considered him probable for the clash. Exum has done well in battling through a foot problem in recent weeks. However, he hasn't been much of a help to fantasy managers, recording 5.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 17.4 minutes this month. A meeting with a bad defense might bring him more joy on Tuesday, but you definitely can't count on it.
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. Exum is battling a plantar fascia sprain in his right foot. Exum started in Dallas' last game with Luka Doncic (ankle) out. However, if Exum cannot suit up on Sunday, Tim Hardaway and Jaden Hardy could have more minutes on the court. The 28-year-old missed 13 consecutive games earlier in the season with a knee injury.
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will return to action on Wednesday versus Toronto. He'll be returning after a 13-game absence. It's not completely clear which role Exum will have, as there have been a lot of changes in Dallas since the last time he saw action. It's likely Exum will also be limited minutes-wise after being sidelined for over a month.
Dante Exum Remains Out On Tuesday But Could Be Back Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's contest against Cleveland. However, according to Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News, there's a "good chance" Exum returns on Wednesday when the team completes a back-to-back versus Toronto. Exum has featured just twice since Jan. 1 and looks set to return to action in a bench role. He has averaged 5.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists as a reserve in 2023-24.
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) has been listed as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against Cleveland. He's missed 12 straight games but has been back in practice and doesn't appear to be far away from returning. However, his return on Tuesday still looks unlikely.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will sit out an 11th consecutive game on Thursday versus the Suns. He's been sidelined with a right knee issue, and Exum's good comeback campaign has turned into misery, as the Australian guard has missed all but three games in 2024 with health issues. According to Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd, Exum is "going in the right direction" and did non-contact work in Wednesday's practice. But it might still take a while until he's ready to play again.
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) is still out for Wednesday's meeting with the San Antonio Spurs. Right knee bursitis will prevent Exum from suiting up for a 10th game in a row, and he'll look to get re-evaluated ahead of Dallas' next contest on Feb. 22 versus the Phoenix Suns. Josh Green will spend at least one more game in the Mavs starting five, and he's offering top-50 numbers in nine-category leagues since Jan. 31. Covering his latest seven games, Green is averaging 14.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers on 46.9% shooting from downtown, and 1.1 swipes in 31.4 minutes and remains a strong streaming option in fantasy hoops in Wednesday's matchup that features the second-highest implied point total (242.5) on the massive 13-game slate.
