Luka Doncicâs Dallas Mavericks teammate suffered a right wrist injury during training camp. The injury could require surgery, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
This injury is a blow to the Mavericks, particularly to Dante Exum, who revived his NBA career last season. Despite his modest numbers, Exum has become a reliable and versatile player for the team.
Exumâs absence will be significant for the Mavericks, especially in the guard rotation. However, the team has other players, such as Klay Thompson, Quentin Grimes, and Jaden Hardy, who can cover for him.
Exum is a valuable player who can provide quality minutes and efficiency. His defense and speed are important qualities that the team will miss during his absence.

Exumâs road to recovery with the Mavs
Exumâs recovery time will depend on the severity of the injury and the decision on whether surgery is necessary. The objective will be for him to return to the court as soon as possible. Exumâs injury is a setback for the Mavericks, but the team has other players capable of stepping into his role. His recovery will be crucial to the teamâs success this season.
