Mavericks' Dante Exum: Out long term after wrist surgery
Exum is expected to miss three months after undergoing surgery on his right wrist Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Exum sustained the injury in training camp last week and doesn't look like he'll be ready to contribute until at least January after having surgery. After a two-year stop overseas, Exum returned stateside for the 2023-24 campaign and proved to be a useful complementary piece for the Mavericks, averaging 7.8 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds over 19.8 minutes while shooting 53.3 percent from the field in 55 appearances. His absence for the first few months of the season could open up more playing time off the bench for Spencer Dinwiddie, Jaden Hardy and/or Quentin Grimes.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Sustains serious wrist injury
Exum sustained a right wrist injury during training camp that could require surgery, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Treatment options are being evaluated for Exum, though he could miss a significant amount of time due to the injury. The 29-year-old typically served as a spark off the bench last season, during which he averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds across 19.8 minutes per game in 55 regular-season appearances (17 starts). Exum could miss substantial time, and if he does Naji Marshall, Jaden Hardy and Quentin Grimes are candidates for extra minutes.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Leaning toward playing Tuesday
Exum (finger) is expected to be available to play for the Australian national team Tuesday against Canada in a Group A matchup at the Summer Olympics in Paris, Kane Pitman of ESPN.com reports.
Exum missed Australia's Olympic opener against Spain on Saturday due to a dislocated finger he suffered during an exhibition against France earlier in the month. The 29-year-old took part in contract drills Sunday without any issues, so he looks to be on track to play Tuesday. If available, Exum would compete with the likes of Josh Giddey, Dyson Daniels and Patty Mills for minutes in a deep Australian backcourt.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Held out against Spain
Exum (finger) did not appear in Australia's 92-80 win over Spain in the Paris Olympics on Saturday, BasketNews.com reports.
Exum is currently dealing with a compound dislocation of his finger but says he has been doing some workouts and is feeling good. After making a deep playoff run with the Mavericks in 2023-24, the 29-year-old could miss significant time in the Paris Olympics as Australia competes in a stacked Group A with the likes of Spain, Canada and Greece. Exum's next chance to suit up will come Monday in what should be a highly competitive matchup against Canada.

Exum (finger) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Spain, Eurohoops.net reports.
Exum fractured part of his right index finger against France in an exhibition and will likely miss Australia's opening match of the Olympics on Saturday. He's also doubtful for Tuesday's matchup versus Canada. Exum has avoided surgery and is expected to suit up for Australia at some point, but even if he does play, he'll likely be limited.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Hurts finger, should play in Paris
Exum suffered a compound dislocation of one of his fingers Sunday in the second quarter of the Australian national basketball team's 83-82 win over France, the Australian Associated Press reports.
Fortunately for Exum, scans on his finger revealed no fractures, and the expectation is that the 29-year-old will be ready to go for Australian's 2024 Summer Olympics opening game against Spain on Saturday. Assuming Exum is able to play Saturday and experiences no setbacks during Australia's run during the Olympics, he shouldn't face any restrictions when he rejoins the Mavericks for the start of training camp in the fall.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Used sparingly in win
Exum finished with zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one block across six minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 victory over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Exum saw just six minutes off the bench despite an ankle injury to Tim Hardaway. The Mavericks opted to go with size over speed, resulting in an important victory. With so much flexibility across their roster, Exum's role could fluctuate significantly moving forward.
