Australian guard Dante Exum is set to extend his NBA stint with the Dallas Mavericks, who have signed No.1 draft pick Cooper Flagg to his four-year rookie contract.
Exum has reportedly shunned two other options in free agency and agreed to a one-year deal with the Mavericks.
Kyrie Irving will be sidelined by a knee injury until at least mid-season, meaning Exum could be called on to play significant minutes in the back-court alongside new addition D'Angelo Russell.
