DALLAS – Mavericks guard Dante Exum started for the first time this season against his former team the Utah Jazz.

The Utah Jazz drafted Dante Exum with the fifth pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

He had a slow start and eventually began dealing with injury problems. In his last three seasons with the Jazz, he played a total of 67 games.

After five years in Salt Lake City, he was traded to Cleveland for Jordan Clarkson.
