Sources — Exum breaks bone in hand as Mavericks’ woes worsen

In another injury to the depleted Dallas Mavericks, guard Dante Exum suffered a broken bone in his left hand during Friday night’s game against the Houston Rockets, sources told ESPN.

Exum will be out indefinitely, sources said.

The Mavs entered the game with only nine available players.

Guard Kyrie Irving (knee) and forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) have been ruled out for the season. There are no firm timetables for the returns of power forward Anthony Davis (adductor), center Dereck Lively II (ankle) and center Daniel Gafford (knee), although Davis and Lively have been ramping up their basketball activities.

Exum, who is in the final year of his contract, has played only 18 games this season. He was sidelined for most of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a wrist injury suffered during training camp.
