Dante Exum, Jazz Reportedly Agree to 3-Year, $33 Million Contract
Dante Exum and the Utah Jazz are extending their partnership.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the two sides agreed to terms on a three-year, $33 million contract extension that will keep Exum in Utah through 2020-21.
Exum, the fifth pick in the 2014 NBA draft, arrived in the Association attached to high expectations thanks to his 6'6" frame and 7'0" wingspan.
Exum appeared hesitant throughout a quiet rookie season, and he missed the 2015-16 campaign because of a torn ACL. The Australian floor general again struggled to find his footing during the 2016-17 season, and he played just 14 regular-season games this past season following shoulder surgery.
The 22-year-old averaged a career-high 8.1 points and 3.1 assists during the regular season, and he shot a robust 48.3 percent from the field. His most eye-popping moment, though, came in the postseason.
