The Wizards waived Exum (knee) on Sunday.
Exum is out for the season and is set to become a free agent this summer, so the Wizards' decision to cut him shortly after acquiring him as part of the eight-player deal last week that sent Anthony Davis to Washington comes as little surprise. Washington could use the open roster spot to upgrade one of its three two-way players to a standard contract or potentially bring aboard a free agent on a 10-day or rest-of-season deal.

The Wizards sent back Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley, two first-round picks and three second-round picks.
Exum is out for the campaign after undergoing season-ending knee surgery back in November. Essentially, he was thrown in for salary-matching purposes. Exum will be a free agent this coming offseason.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Set for season-ending surgery
Rotowire
The Mavericks announced Thursday that Exum will undergo season-ending knee surgery.
Exum needs a follow-up procedure after dealing with complications from offseason right knee surgery, which will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the year. The veteran guard will be an unrestricted free agent next summer. Until Kyrie Irving (knee) is cleared to play, D'Angelo Russell and Brandon Williams should continue to share the minutes at point guard.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Remains without return timetable
Rotowire
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd suggested Saturday that Exum (knee) remains without a clear timeline for a return, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. "That's a great question," Kidd said, when asked about where Exum stands in his recovery from a right knee injury. "He's getting re-evaluated, and we'll see how that goes."
Exum hasn't taken part in practices with the Mavericks since early in training camp back in September, and Dallas continues to rule him out more than 24 hours in advance of games. Based on Kidd's lack of concrete updates on Exum's status, the veteran guard should be considered week-to-week until he resumes on-court work.
