Agrees to join Dallas Exum agreed to a one-year deal with the Mavericks on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Impact According to Charania, Exum considered two other contenders in free agency, but he opted to return to Dallas. With Kyrie Irving (knee) expected to be sidelined through January, Exum could have a path to considerable minutes in the backcourt along with a new addition in D'Angelo Russell. Exum, who has struggled to stay healthy, appeared in 20 regular-season games in 2024-25 with averages of 8.7 points, 2.8 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 0.6 steals in 18.6 minutes per contest.

Sees action in season-ending loss Exum amassed three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 13 minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Exum missed the first 48 games of the season while recovering from right wrist surgery and was expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign due to a fractured left hand he suffered in March. However, Exum was able to return to action and play Dallas' final four contest. Across the 29-year-old guard's 20 regular-season appearances this season, including 13 starts, he averaged 8.7 points, 2.8 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 18.6 minutes.

Bench role against Sacramento Exum will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Kings, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact Exum was a starter for the regular-season finale against the Grizzlies, but will be in the second unit against the Kings in the Play-In Tournament on Wednesday. The veteran guard came off the bench seven times for Dallas during the 2024-25 regular-season campaign and averaged 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, shooting 48.5 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from deep.

Back in starting lineup Exum is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Sunday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Exum returned from a 12-game absence Friday against the Raptors and finished with six points, three assists and one rebound over 14 minutes. He'll be in the Mavs' starting five Sunday for the first time since March 14, when he fractured his left hand.

Returns from hand surgery Exum (hand) tallied six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three assists and one rebound across 14 minutes in Friday's 124-102 win over the Raptors.

Impact Exum checked into the contest to begin the second quarter, marking his first appearance since he fractured his left hand March 14 in a loss to the Rockets. The veteran wing shot the ball well from downtown but committed three turnovers during his time on the court. Though he may continue to hold down a regular spot in the rotation in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Grizzlies and any subsequent playoff contests, Exum will likely struggle to crack 20 minutes in most games.

Cleared to play against Toronto Exum (hand) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Exum was available to return Wednesday against the Lakers after an 11-game absence due to a fracture in his left hand, and he's been given the green light to suit up Friday. After the All-Star break and before sustaining the injury March 14, Exum had averaged 8.0 points, 2.4 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 steals over 19.8 minutes per game.

Iffy for Friday Exum (hand) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Raptors.

Impact Exum was deemed available for Dallas' game against the Lakers on Wednesday after missing the team's previous 11 outings due to a fractured left hand. However, Exum did not receive any playing time, which could also happen if he's upgraded to available against Toronto.

Available, not guaranteed to play Head coach Jason Kidd called Exum "very limited" for Wednesday's game against the Lakers and did not guarantee he would see the court, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site r...

Impact Exum had missed 11 straight games due to a left hand fracture, and while he's been upgraded to available on the injury report, Kidd didn't commit to playing Exum against the Lakers on Wednesday. Even if he does take the floor, don't expect Exum to see significant run. Instead, Dallas will have to rely on Spencer Dinwiddie, Brandon Williams and Max Christie off the bench.

In the 15 games prior to his injury (including 10 starts), Exum averaged 9.7 points, 3.1 assists and 1.7 rebounds over 20.1 minutes per contest.

Diagnosed with hand fracture The Mavericks announced Saturday that Exum has been diagnosed with a left hand fracture and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.

Impact Exum suffered his injury during Friday's game against the Rockets and will likely miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. With Dallas currently sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference, the Mavericks will need to go on a deep run in the playoffs without Kyrie Irving (knee) and potentially Anthony Davis (adductor) in order to give Exum a chance of returning to action.
