Former No. 5 overall pick could miss the entire season for the second time in two years

Brutal news.

Injury-stricken guard Dante Exum could miss the entire 2017-18 season after separating his shoulder.

Exum missed the entire 2015-16 season after tearing his ACL.

In his rookie year, he played in 82 games, starting 41 of them. He averaged nearly five points, two assists and just over a rebound per game. Last season, in his return from the ACL injury, he averaged six points per game, two rebounds and nearly two assists per game over 66 appearances and 26 starts.

It's brutal news for a Utah Jazz team that lost plenty of production following Gordon Hayward and George Hill's respective departures.
