“It’s been a long two months since I’ve done it, but I’m on a good path now.”
SALT LAKE CITY — While his teammates played around Hawaii (in multiple ways), Jazz point guard Dante Exum remained in Utah to rehab his surgically repaired knee.
The 20-year-old smiled when jokingly told that the Jazz owe him a Hawaii trip.
“Don’t worry,” Exum said. “It will be written into my next contract.”
Though he didn’t get to participate in that fun Oahu adventure — and he’s obviously bummed to miss out on a full season of his basketball career — Exum is maintaining a positive attitude during what figures to be a lengthy rehabilitation process.
