Utah Jazz guard Dante Exum had surgery on Thursday in Los Angeles to repair a torn ACL in his left knee.
The team said the procedure, performed by Dr. Neal S. ElAttrache of Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic after consulting with Jazz physician Dr. Travis Maak of University of Utah Health Care and Dr. Brian Cole of Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush in Chicago, was a success.
Exum will return to Sale Lake City and begin his rehabilitation. The team said there is no timeline yet for his return.
The Australian was injured Aug. 4 while playing for his national team in an exhibition game against the Slovanian national team in Ljobljana, Slovenia.
As a rookie last season for the Jazz, Exum played in all 82 games and averaged 4.8 points, 2.4 assists and 1.6 rebounds while shooting 34.9 percent from the field and 31.4 percent on 3-pointers. The 6-foot-6 Exum was the No. 5 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.
