Dante Exum

Mavericks guard Dante Exum will miss the entire season due to complications with his right knee that will require another surgery, the team announced Thursday.

Unfortunately, it seems that the 30-year-old will have to undergo a follow-up surgery on the same knee. It's been a difficult career for Exum after being taken fifth overall in the 2014 NBA Draft. He appeared in 82 games in his rookie season, but then missed the following year with an injury and only appeared in more than 42 games once over the remaining five years before leaving the NBA to continue playing overseas. He came back to the league with the Mavericks last season and averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.7 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game.
