Dante Exum (ankle) to miss 'a couple of weeks' for Utah
Utah Jazz guard Dante Exum (ankle) is expected to miss a "couple of weeks" per Tony Jones of The Athletic.
What It Means:
Exum sprained his ankle on Saturday versus the Detroit Pistons and will need some time to recover. Raul Neto will assume backup point guard duties with Donovan Mitchell likely seeing extra run as the primary ballhandler when Ricky Rubio is off the court.
Exum had averaged 9.5 points and 4.2 assists in 19.0 minutes over his last 11 games before the injury.
