Certainly, Dante Exum still has bad luck in terms of injuries. Freed from his knee problems which cost him dearly when he arrived in the NBA ten years ago, the Australian leader, who then suffered from calf pain, is this time in trouble with his right hand!
A little over two months ago, it was a dislocation of the index finger that occurred in a friendly match against France which had already disrupted him during the preparation for the 2024 Olympic Games.
This time, The Athletic tells us that the Mavericks leader injured his wrist and that the injury would be serious. All options are being considered at this stage, and the possibility of surgery would not yet be ruled out. Such a decision would obviously complicate the preparation and start of the season for the player who had found his place behind the Doncic/Irving pair in Jason Kidd's rotation. Whatever happens, it is already a hard blow for Dallas in preparation for its 2024/25 financial year after reaching the Finals last season.
Even if the return of Spencer Dinwdiddie gives the Mavericks an experienced rotation at the point guard position.
