The Mavericks signed Australian-born guard Dante Exum to a one-year deal for the veteran’s minimum on the first day of Free Agency. The former fifth-overall pick in 2014 by the Utah Jazz is making his return to the NBA to play alongside Luka Donu010diu0107 and Kyrie Irving after playing overseas for two years.
The 6’6” guard with a 6’9” wingspan’s previous stint in the NBA was hampered by lower-leg injuries. Exum signed with Barcelona in the summer of 2021, and from this moment, he started to make significant improvements to his game. A year later, he signed with Partizan and carried his team to a victory against Red Star Belgrade in the ABA League Championship.
