After missing the past 25 games due to a left ankle sprain, Utah Jazz guard Dante Exum will return to play Monday night at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Exum originally suffered the injury on Jan. 5 against the Detroit Pistons. The fourth-year player ramped up his rehab efforts in the past week and even had a stint with the Salt Lake City Stars of the G League.
Exum missed the last game played against the Thunder on Feb. 22 but averaged 6.5 points and two assists during the two previous games for the Jazz.
In 39 games this season, Exum is averaging 7.4 points, 2.7 assists and 1.7 rebounds per game while he is shooting 43.2 percent from the field.
The Thunder are 3-0 against the Jazz so far this season but will be three-point underdogs on Monday night.
