SALT LAKE CITY — Dante Exum was assigned to the Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday and participated in parts of the G League team’s practice, the Utah Jazz announced.

He was recalled by the Jazz following practice, as the rehab assignment was part of his “return to play” protocol.

Exum suffered a partially torn patellar tendon in his right knee in March, just three games after missing 25 games because of a severely sprained left ankle. The fifth-year guard played in 42 games last year before being lost for the season to the right knee injury, averaging 6.9 points, 2.6 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per contest.
