Dante Exum is back in the Utah Jazz line-up, just weeks from the NBA playoffs.
The Melbourne-born star has been cleared to play in the Jazz's clash on Thursday (Friday AEDT) against Phoenix Suns - the team he was up against when he injured his left shoulder in a pre-season game on October 6 last year.
A successful training session with G League team Salt Lake City Stars earlier this week was the last box Exum needed to tick to complete his five-month rehabilitation.
It's good timing for the Jazz.
With just 14 games left in the regular season, they are up against Patty Mills' San Antonio Spurs, the LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets for the last few playoff spots in the Western Conference.
