Tue Jun 3 | 07:16 | Dante Exum and Mavericks Have "Mutual Interest" to Work Out New Deal |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum is scheduled to become a free agent, but there is a good chance he will stick around in Texas. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Exum and the Mavericks have "mutual interest" to work out a new deal. The Australian veteran is coming off a two-year, $6.15 million contract and has been linked with a move to newly-crowned EuroLeague champion Fenerbahce in Turkey. He may also attract other suitors in the NBA, considering Exum enjoyed a career year in 2024-25 with a scoring average of 9.1 points in 19.1 minutes. He shot an impressive 44.7 percent from three-point range and dished out 2.8 assists. With Kyrie Irving (knee) expected to be out until at least January, Exum could play a larger role in the Mavericks rotation if he signs a new deal with the team, enhancing his fantasy value. |

Sat Mar 15 | 15:02 | Dante Exum Diagnosed With A Fractured Left Hand |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) suffered a fractured left wrist during Friday's loss to the Houston Rockets. He will be sidelined for at least a month, with the team providing updates when available. The 29-year-old missed three months to begin the 2024-25 campaign because of a wrist injury before returning at the end of January. When healthy, Exum had played well, averaging a career-high 9.1 points and shooting 44.7% from behind the arc. With Kyrie Irving (knee) ruled out for the rest of the season, Spencer Dinwiddie, Brandon Williams, and Max Christie should split time in the backcourt. At any rate, there's a chance Exum, who will be a free agent this summer, may not be back on the floor for any team until next season, considering Dallas is barely holding on to the final Play-In spot. |

Fri Mar 14 | 19:20 | Dante Exum Playing Friday Against Houston |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum(hamstring) will suit up against the Houston Rockets on Friday. Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports that Exum has been dealing with right hamstring tightness and will be restricted to 20-to-25 minutes for Friday's matchup. The 29-year-old is averaging 9.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 19.8 minutes across 17 games. Exum could be a solid fantasy contributor once his minutes are increased moving forward due to a Mavs roster filled with injuries. |

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) will return from a one-game absence on Friday versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The Australian has shaken off a right foot contusion, with the team upgrading Exum's status from questionable to available. Dallas has a host of players missing, so it's not unreasonable to think that Exum can make a significant impact in Friday's game. In his most recent appearance, Exum was a starter, though he had a tough time in a 122-98 loss to the Sacramento Kings, shooting 2-for-10 from the field and finishing with five points and four assists while committing four turnovers. |

With the lengthy injury list, Exum could step right into a large role, and may even draw a start alongside Spencer Dinwiddie. If he doesn't suit up, Max Christie should continue to see big minutes. |

Exum's next chance to suit up comes on Friday against the Grizzlies.

Thu Feb 13 | 19:27 | Dante Exum Cleared To Play Thursday |
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Dante Exum (Achilles) will suit up for Thursday's clash against the Miami Heat. He sat out Wednesday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors and was initially on the injury report with a questionable designation. The Mavericks receive much-needed help with Exum back, as the team is down to its bare bones with all regular starters sidelined. The versatile Australian may receive increased usage on Thursday, but it's important to note that Exum, who has an extensive injury history, hasn't played more than 21 minutes in any game this season. |

Thu Feb 13 | 17:24 | Dante Exum Listed As Questionable Versus The Heat |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (Achilles) is questionable Thursday due to Achilles tightness. The 29-year-old Australian has been limited to six games this season, averaging 19 minutes per game and producing 9.2 points, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 rebounds per contest. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Klay Thompson (foot) are also questionable, so Exum could end up in a big role if he's available. If the Mavs go into their final game before the All-Star break without Kyrie, Klay, and Exum, they will need other players to shoulder the offensive workload like Jalen Hardy, Spencer Dinwiddie, and new arrival Max Christie. |

Wed Feb 12 | 20:13 | Dante Exum Ruled Out For Wednesday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Exum has been nursing an Achilles issue, so the Mavs have decided to take the cautious approach during the front end of this back-to-back set. The hope is that Exum will play on Thursday, but it wouldn't be shocking if the Mavs hold him out until after the All-Star break. His absence means that Spencer Dinwiddie, Jaden Hardy, and Naji Marshall could all see increased roles in the rotation. Between the three, Dinwiddie is the best fantasy option after dropping 20 points or more in two of his last three games. |

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (Achilles) will play against the Sacramento Kings on Monday. He has shaken off a questionable tag to make his sixth consecutive appearance.

Following three consecutive starts, Exum was back on the bench on Saturday against the Houston Rockets and had a quiet four-point outing. He will aim to bounce back on Monday against a team with the 20th defensive rating in the league. |

Fri Jan 31 | 18:19 | Dante Exum Available With A Minutes Restriction Friday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) will make his season debut on Friday against the Detroit Pistons, but he will have a minutes restriction. Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd has announced that Exum will not play more than 15 minutes. The Australian guard, who returned to the NBA last season, averaged 19.8 minutes in 2023-24, so he could be fairly close to his normal workload. Exum notched 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists a season ago. He will be a good addition to the Mavericks rotation but likely will not make much noise in fantasy basketball. |

Fri Jan 31 | 12:16 | Dante Exum Has A Chance To Make Season Debut On Friday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) has been upgraded to questionable on Friday for their contest against the Detroit Pistons. The 29-year-old had surgery on his wrist and hasn't been able to appear in a game yet this season. This is the first time he was upgraded to questionable which means if he doesn't play on Friday, he'll likely play at some point during their road trip. Last season, Exum averaged 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.0 threes across 19.8 minutes per contest. Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes will remain the top streaming options on the Mavericks while Luka Doncic (calf) remains sidelined as well. |

Wed Oct 9 2024 | 21:00 | Dante Exum To Miss Three Months |
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. |

Fri Oct 4 2024 | 18:19 | Dante Exum Could Require Surgery |
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. |
