Dante Exum Remains On The Sidelines Thursday
Dante Exum (knee) will skip a seventh consecutive game on Thursday versus the Knicks. He's trying to come back from a knee issue, but it's currently unclear when Exum will be able to play again. The Australian guard has featured just twice in the lineup since Jan. 1. Exum's absence keeps Josh Green in the starting unit, and Tim Hardaway Jr. does most of the backcourt work off the bench alongside Jaden Hardy. However, Thursday's matchup could be a frustrating one for Dallas' second unit, as the Knicks team allows the third-fewest bench points in the league.

Dante Exum Playing Friday Against Houston
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.

Dante Exum Upgraded To Available Friday
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.

Dante Exum Receives Questionable Status On Friday
Dante Exum (foot) may return from a one-game absence after receiving a questionable tag on the injury report for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 29-year-old missed Wednesday's game due to a foot contusion but could already be ready to play again. In 13 games this season, Exum averages 9.2 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.6 rebounds per game. 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.

Dante Exum Out Of Action Against Bucks
Dante Exum (foot) won't play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Exum is dealing with a right foot contusion. Exum's next chance to suit up comes on Friday against the Grizzlies. If the 29-year-old is able to return soon, he will be in line to see plenty of extra minutes on the floor with Kyrie Irving (knee) now sidelined for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.
