It was last Thursday against Minnesota that Jazz point guard Dante Exum’s latest comeback from injury was cut short by another injury — this time, a partially torn patellar tendon in his right knee.
He was cleared on March 8 to return to practice, and then on March 11, hours before facing Oklahoma City, he met with a select few members of the media to discuss his rehab of and return from a sprained ankle that kept him sidelined for more than two months. And then, three games and a combined 27 minutes, 15 seconds of game time later, he was checking out against the Timberwolves and heading straight to the locker room, his season again in jeopardy.
