SALT LAKE CITY — It hasn't been much of a secret that Utah Jazz guard Dante Exum is getting closer to finally playing this season after injuring his shoulder during the preseason, as he has been putting in work on the court before games for quite some time.
The Australian has taken another significant step forward this week, too, as the Jazz said Thursday that he has begun participating in non-contact portions of practice.
There still is no timetable for his return, however.
The 22-year-old is in his fourth season with Utah after being selected fifth overall in the 2014 NBA Draft.
