On Thursday afternoon, news broke that Utah Jazz point guard Dante Exum has indeed torn his ACL. The injury was a result of a freak accident while playing for his native Australian national team in a “friendly” against Slovenia.
Initial reports have Exum going under the knife in the next few days and missing the entire 2015-2016 NBA season.
The Jazz haven't announce it yet, but Dante Exum will undergo reconstructive surgery to repair the torn ACL in his left knee.

This is basically the worst-case scenario and my heart is broken.
