Dante Exum was forced to leave Sunday’s game between the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets with an injury to his left leg.
After missing a three-pointer during the third quarter of Game 4, Exum limped to the other end of the court and headed straight for the locker room. Exum, who was replaced by Royce O’Neale, went to the floor in the tunnel and extended his left leg into the air.

A few minutes later the Jazz announced Exum would be out for the remainder of the game due to left hamstring soreness.

If Exum is forced to miss an extended period of time, it will severely impact the depth of the Jazz backcourt with Ricky Rubio having not played since Game 6 of the series against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an injury to his left hamstring.
