Dante Exum Out Indefinitely With Partially Torn Patellar Tendon In Knee 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Mar 16, 2019 5:40 am

Dante Exum underwent an MRI to confirm a partially torn patellar tendon in his right knee. Exum will be out indefinitely as he seeks treatment on his injury.


“It’s really tough. He’s worked his butt off this season. For that to happen, it’s tough. But we’re here for him. Everyone here is wishing him well and wants him back," said Donovan Mitchell.


Exum was averaging 6.9 points and 2.6 assists this season.

This kids career is done. He's been injured every year since he's been drafted.
Exum came out with a lot of hype and it's just sad that every time it looks like
he's gonna put it all together some injury always seems to occur and set him back.

Shades of Iman Shumpert. This isn't a death kneel but every injury is time spent rehabbing instead of improving his game

Bogut - "now listen here Dante, when you've had a 4 or 5 broken noses, multiple rib injuries, broken leg, fractured ankle, dislocated elbow and wrist bone fractures, back stress fracture, season ending sprained foot, knee bone edema and chondromalacia, don't even think your the most injury prone Aussie, mate"

He was healthy all 82 games his rookie season but only got 41 starts and underachieved. Lol he was a Pelinka client and Pelinka himself boasted he was the best prospect he signed since Kobe that clearly didn't pan out.
