Earlier in the season, it appeared that Utah Jazz guard Dante Exum was finally starting to get things figured out. Throughout the month of December, he had several great performances on both ends of the floor as he appeared stout on defense and very much improved in his execution on offense. Unfortunately, shortly into the month of January, he went down with a sprained ankle and yet again found himself sidelined.
Originally, many Jazz fans presumed that Exum’s annoying injury wouldn’t keep him out too long. But after only a couple of evaluations, it was ultimately determined that he’d be out until after the All-Star break.
