I think they'll just play Neto more. If that isn't working they'll probably shuffle the lineup and use Ingles or Burks. If somehow Mitchell develops those skills this early then he could give it a go too.

Dante Exum is the human sine wave.

Going by the tone of the players tweets I'm expecting out for the season / MKG type scenario. Can't ****ing believe it ... what kind of ****ing moron tries to make a play like that in preseason.
Gutted for Dante. Really liked what I saw in SL and the other two pre-season games.
The positives from this gut punch are that at least Burks has looked really good. Playing time will increase.
We have DMitch who needs time. We have a really deep team so this injury hurts Dante and his development more than our W/L total.
and I'm hoping he is back for our playoff stretch. Could be the X factor, yep pun intended.
I'm hoping for the best with Dante, but expecting the worst. His teammates sounded really down. I'm assuming Dante will be out for some time. Lets just hope he fully heals and is back for our monster play off run!
Get well Dante.

It will depend on the direction in which it dislocates and the damage to ligaments, joint and nerves. My pal who had his bike accident tore all the ligaments and crushed the nerves (he got thrown in front of an oncoming car.) he's going through hell. I'm hoping this won't be too bad, there isn't a huge amount of momentum involved in the impact, if its a minor dislocation, and i'm really hoping it is, he might only miss 4-6 weeks.

This is a real gut punch for the Jazz if he is out for longer than a few weeks. No other way to spin this. Really a sucky situation for Dante, the Jazz, the fans and all parties involved due to a fluky play in a preseason game. I loved what I saw out of Exum in the summer league and in these first few preseason games. Confidence and experience oozed out of him. Let's pray it's not serious!!
It sucks for Dante and yes it hurts the team but people have forgotten Burks. He has played well in preseason and this opens playing time for him. The PG depth is hurt but Jazz have plenty of SGs who can handle the ball for short amounts of time. Neto is fine in a backup role too.
I just feel sorry for Dante because it was obviously that he is finally growing up and ready to fulfill his potential when this happens. For all you fans who are calling him a bust especially right after he is hurt, there are no words to express how disgusting your comments are.
According to the Tribune he has suffered ligament damage and could miss significant time. No word on surgery yet.
