SALT LAKE CITY — Dante Exum didn’t need to participate in any pregame workouts with Utah Jazz assistant coach Lamar Skeeter ahead of the Detroit Pistons game Tuesday.
The injured guard put in his on-court work earlier in the afternoon during a closed practice with the G League’s Salt Lake City Stars.
Exum is expected to make his regular season debut at some point this week while recovering from a left shoulder surgery, but was briefly assigned to the Stars for a few hours in the last stage of his rehab.
