Coming into the offseason, one of the more pressing questions facing the Dallas Mavericks was how they were going to handle the guard spot. With Kyrie Irving set to miss most of the 2025-26 campaign, the Mavs were sorely needing some guard help to help see them through the season. On Wednesday, Dallas took more steps to help bring clarity to the guard room, as they agreed to terms with Dante Exum on a deal to return for his third year with the Mavericks.
Exum averaged nearly nine points and three assists per game last year, seeing just 18 minutes per game on average.
