Absent from injury report Exum (face) is not spotted on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Exum did not return after taking an elbow to the face in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, but he doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Thursday's action. The veteran guard should be able to handle a normal workload against Charlotte. Over his last nine appearances (seven starts), Exum has averaged 10.7 points, 3.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 19.6 minutes while shooting 41.4 percent from deep.

Doesn't return Tuesday Exum (face) did not return to Tuesday's 107-99 loss to the Lakers. He finished the game with eight points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 11 minutes.

Impact Exum took an elbow to the face from an opposing player during the third quarter and was unable to return. The 29-year-old's status will be something to monitor ahead of Thursday's game against the Hornets, though if he's sidelined Thursday, Max Christie, Naji Marshall and Spencer Dinwiddie are all candidates for a slight bump in playing time.

Impact Exum took an elbow to the face from an opposing player and stayed on the ground for an extended period before heading to the locker room. If the 29-year-old is unable to return, Naji Marshall and Max Christie will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Not starting Tuesday Exum is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact The Mavs are tweaking their lineup for this contest, and Exum will head to the bench to allow Max Christie, a former Laker, to enter the starting unit. Exum has started in all but one of his eight appearances in February, averaging 11.0 points, 4.3 assists and 1.5 rebounds per game.

Strikes for season-high 27 Exum closed with a team-high 27 points (11-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 24 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 victory over the...

Impact The Mavericks were missing their entire usual starting lineup, from Kyrie Irving (shoulder) to Anthony Davis (thigh), but Exum made his return from a one-game absence due to an Achilles issue and delivered his best scoring effort of the season to lead his team to victory. Exum has gotten the start in five of his last six appearances while P.J. Washington deals with a sprained ankle, averaging 13.2 points, 4.2 assists, 1.7 boards, 1.3 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 56.6 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (8-for-16) from beyond the arc.

Good to go Thursday Exum (Achilles) is available for Thursday's game against the Heat, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Exum will return to game action after missing Wednesday's win over the Warriors due to left Achilles tightness. The 29-year-old has yet to surpass 21 minutes in a game since returning from a wrist injury Jan. 31. Exum will likely remain limited to around the 20-minute mark, even with Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Klay Thompson (foot) and Caleb Martin (hip) sidelined, meaning Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy could see a bump in playing time.

Questionable against Miami Exum (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Heat.

Impact Exum is in danger of missing his second straight Thursday due to left Achilles tightness. With Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Klay Thompson (foot) also receiving questionable tags, Spencer Dinwiddie, Jaden Hardy and Max Christie could all receive increased playing time against Miami.

No-go Wednesday Exum (Achilles) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Kevin Gray Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Exum is dealing with inflammation in his left Achilles and will be inactive for the first leg of Dallas' back-to-back set. The severely short-handed Mavs will likely turn to Max Christie, Jaden Hardy, Kessler Edwards and Olivier-Maxence Prosper for significant minutes on the perimeter.

Questionable against Warriors Exum (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Exum is dealing with left Achilles tightness ahead of the front end of the Mavericks' back-to-back Wednesday. If the veteran guard can't play against Golden State, either Max Christie or Spencer Dinwiddie could get a chance to ride with the starters.

Starting Monday Exum will start in Monday's game against Sacramento, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.

Impact With P.J. Washington (ankle) and Anthony Davis (thigh) both sidelined, Exum will enter the starting five. The 29-year-old is averaging 10.0 points, 3.2 assists and 1.4 rebounds across 19.2 minutes per game through five regular-season outings (three starts). Exum missed the club's first 48 games due to a wrist injury, and he'll likely continue to operate under a minutes restriction Monday.

Good to go Monday vs. Sacramento Exum (Achilles) is available for Monday's game against the Kings, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Exum popped up on Sunday's injury report due to left Achilles tightness, but the injury isn't severe enough for him to be held out of Monday's contest. In the five games since returning from a wrist injury, Exum has averaged 10.0 points on 48.6 percent shooting, 3.2 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 0.6 steals over 19.2 minutes per game.

Questionable for Monday Exum is (Achilles) listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.

Impact Exum missed the first 48 games of the regular season due to a wrist injury, and he now finds himself back on the injury report due to left Achilles tightness. If the 29-year-old is ruled out, Naji Marshall and Max Christie (shoulder) could see an uptick in playing time. Exum has appeared in five consecutive contests (three starts), during which he has averaged 10.0 points, 3.2 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per contest.

FEBRUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to bench Exum isn't in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact P.J. Washington will reclaim his starting spot from Exum on Saturday after missing Dallas' previous three contests due to personal reasons. Exum will likely operate as one of Dallas' primary bench options against Houston.

FEBRUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches double figures in start Exum closed with 14 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Sunday's 144-101 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Exum got the starting nod Sunday with Kyrie Irving (shoulder) inactive, struggling to find his shot a bit but still managing to finish as one of six Mavericks with a double-digit point total in a blowout loss. After his lengthy absence to start the year, Exum has taken the court in two games, putting together his best outing of the year Sunday against Cleveland.

FEBRUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans Irving on Sunday Exum will start in Sunday's game against Cleveland, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.

Impact With Kyrie Irving (shoulder) sidelined, Exum will start in just his second game back from a right wrist injury. It wouldn't be surprising if the 29-year-old swingman remains under a minutes restriction following his season debut, during which he tallied three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to Detroit.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited output in season debut Exum (wrist) recorded three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes off the bench Friday in the Mavericks' 117-102 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Making his season debut after completing a lengthy recovery from the right wrist injury he suffered in training camp that ultimately required surgery, Exum stepped into the Dallas rotation and handled a modest role. Considering that he averaged 19.8 minutes per game in 2023-24 and Dallas arguably has better wing depth on hand this season compared to last, Exum may not see a dramatic uptick in his playing time in future contests.

FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Detroit Exum (wrist) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Exum will make his season debut Friday for the Mavericks after rehabbing from right wrist surgery. The veteran guard should give Dallas a much-needed boost off the bench, but he'll be limited to 15 minutes of action while he gets back up to speed after missing so much time, per Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com. Last season, he averaged 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 19.8 minutes per game.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to make season debut Exum (wrist) is on course to make his season debut Friday against Detroit and is expected to play limited minutes, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Impact Exum is now expected to play Friday after missing the Mavericks' 48 games of the 2024-25 season while recovering from right wrist surgery. Until he's able to work his way fully back into game shape, Exum will likely play fewer than the 19.8 minutes per contest he averaged in 2023-24.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Exum (wrist) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Exum has yet to play a game this season for the Mavericks as he continues to work his way back from surgery on his right wrist. It seems he's getting closer to making his season debut, but his status remains uncertain until that happens.
