Dante Exum could miss 2015-2016 NBA season

He is a great young talent, and his career could be in jeopardy.

Dante could have a ACL tear in his leg? However, until confirmed that is just speculation of reporters. The real debate is playing for your country worth it. I believe the answer is yes. Your nation gets pride when you win, and he could have got hurt playing in summer league.  I also feel this injury is not like when Paul George got hurt.

The difference is Indiana Pacers thought they could beat LeBron and make the finals last year. However, the traumatic knee injury almost ended a very bright future. 

The injury is horrible for Dante Exum, I have had some horrible knee injuries when I played basketball in High School. I can hardly watch knee injuries for that reason. However, the bad thing is Dante hasn't established himself yet. He does have a really cool NBA name.

I do believe he will rehab and be back, and hopefully this isn't going to play out like Derek Rose. I hate how injuries derail promising careers. 

At least we got to see Paul George nearly upset the greatest player in the world. King James and how rattled he was by that great Pacers defense for a little bit.

I wish Dante Exum the best recovery, and just know this could have happened regardless of the situation. I love that players support their country, and maybe they should get insurance policies in case of injuries. Leave a comment if you want, do you think players should risk injury for their countries?
