Exum's injury occurred in Las Vegas, and as of now, there is no timetable for his return.

Kyrie Irving is expected to manage the second unit while Luka Doncic takes breaks, helping to mitigate the impact of Exum's absence.

This injury is particularly unfortunate for Exum, who had revitalized his career last season after two years abroad, averaging 7.8 points and 2.9 assists per game.

The Dallas Mavericks are gearing up for the upcoming NBA season after a disappointing loss to the Boston Celtics in the Finals last year.

Despite his limited playing time in the playoffs, where he averaged only 2.0 points across 21 games, Exum's speed and defensive skills were valuable to the team.

With Exum sidelined, the Mavericks will rely on their depth at the shooting guard position, featuring Klay Thompson, Quentin Grimes, and Jaden Hardy.

The Mavericks' preseason opener is set for Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies, who also dealt with injuries last season.

While Exum's presence is not deemed essential, his return is a priority for the Mavericks due to the depth he provides.

The Mavericks will provide updates on Exum's condition as appropriate.

However, the team faces a significant setback with guard Dante Exum suffering a serious right wrist injury during training camp, which may require surgery.

To succeed this season, the team will need increased contributions from frontcourt players like P.J. Washington, Daniel Gafford, and Dereck Lively II.

Additionally, Kyrie Irving is recovering from a thumb injury sustained during a workout after the Finals but is reportedly progressing well.
