Exum was diagnosed with a partially torn patellar tendon in his right knee after an MRI on Friday, adding to his lengthy list of injuries since he was drafted five years ago. Exum had just returned three games prior from a sprained ankle — and associated bone bruise — that cost him 25 games.
The Jazz announced that Exum is out indefinitely. The team and Exum will seek multiple medical opinions on how to best treat the injury, and decide whether or not Exum should be sidelined for the rest of the season.
Exum had played well before the ankle injury, his season crescendoing with a stretch of good performances in late December.
