Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum is expected to miss three months after undergoing right wrist surgery on Tuesday, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
Exum suffered the serious right wrist injury during a training camp workout and sought multiple opinions before electing for surgery this week. His extended absence is an early-season blow to the Mavericks backcourt, which will now rely heavily on Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy.
Exum, 29, has been hampered by injuries throughout his career since being selected by the Utah Jazz with the fifth overall pick of the 2014 draft.
