Free agent guard Dante Exum, who was limited to 20 games because of a fractured wrist and broken hand, has a one-year deal to return to the Mavericks, sources told ESPN

Free agent guard Dante Exum is signing a one-year contract to return to Dallas, ESPN reported on Wednesday, as the Mavericks are quickly adding depth to the position while nine-time All-Star Kyrie Irving recovers from a knee injury.

Charania said Exum considered two other contenders, but chose to re-sign with Dallas. Russell and Exum figure to share the ball-handling duties while Irving is on the mend.
