Mavericks Lose Dante Exum To Broken Bone In Left Hand

Mavericks Lose Dante Exum To Broken Bone In Left Hand
Dante Exum will be out indefinitely with a broken bone in his left hand. Exum had become the starting point guard for the Dallas Mavericks following the season-ending injury to Kyrie Irving.

The Mavericks also recently lost Olivier-Maxence Prosper to a season-ending injury.

Furthermore, the return timelines for Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford are unclear.

Because the Mavericks are hard capped at the first apron after acquiring Klay Thompson via a sign-and-trade last offseason, they are cannot sign another player because even a 10-day contract would put them over.

It's crazy how fcked the mavs are right now. Was reading they might not even have enough guys to suit up if they don't get a few healthy. Cause they can't sign any 10-days. Nico is a terrorist.

Hope Bron gets right soon. Miss watching him and Luka.

I feel bad for Mavs fans. Lost their franchise player and they can't even compete for a chip cause their whole team got hurt.


At least I have Knicks west. They are the hottest team in the league right now. It is def awesome to see Randle win back the Timberwolves fanbase. Donte is even back to form as well.

Tbh, I don't feel too bad for em. They won a chip and decade ago so fck em.

Wolves are killing it. I'll never forget a lot of this board was turning on a 23 yr old Ant earlier this year.

Hope they match up with the Rockets in the playoffs. That would be a fun series.

If you want to even go back further to the Ant slander, there was a time a lot of this board said they rather have the robot than him :lol:

Houston vs Minny would be a great series. I personally wanna see the new Golden state squad matched up with Minny. Ant vs Curry, Randle vs Butler, Draymond vs Gobert. Must watch tv lol

I shouldn't judge - rj had a nice stretch in his rookie campaign and I posted how I was glad we had him over Ja :lol: I can be a prisoner of the moment.

GS vs minny would be fun as hell too. I know this is setting this thread up to devolve into the sht thread, but I truly hope Randle can exercise some of his playoff demons this year. Looks like he is heading into the playoffs healthy so he should.

I think Randle is gonna be much better in the playoffs as long as he's healthy. That would suck if he choked while being healthy and having legit talent around him. I prob won't defend him anymore if that's the case. :lol:

You have A LOT of post to scrub if he is healthy and has another bad playoff run. I think you'll be ok. He has a lot of talent around him and while there is pressure to perform cause past mistakes the team comp should help him exercise those demons.

They would prepare a report, but they've lost most of their consultants in recent days to broken hands.

They'll change the rule after a team has to forfeit a game due to lack of players and all that sweet gambling money is lost. Then the NBA will get pressured to change by its real supporters.

Fans are becoming irrelevant. Bettors are where it's at.

Even though he was our hated enemy, now that he's long since retired, we can appreciate Apple's ad for Larry Owl and their Genmoji App.

This ad appears on a billboard a few hundred feet from the Boston Garden.

There are times when I feel Bird was the greatest player in the history of the game in terms of skills, cunning and clutchness.

The only player since him that rivals his particular talents is Jokic who is probably already one of the top ten all-time players. I do think he is the best player in the NBA today.

To have seen Jokic play in the 80s would have been sublime.

The NBA should allow tanking teams to just play their entire G League roster during the last 2 months of the season.

Mighty Cleveland just lost at home to Orlando. It was a close game most of the way, but they lost by 5 or 6 at the end. This kid of stuff happens.

Fire Kenny!

While this is terrible on nico's part that silver even allows this to be a possibility is ridiculous. How as mavs fans can you even care about a team when this is out there.
