This is shaping up to be Brandon Roy 2.0 but worse.

Man, that's awful for Exum, after all he fought through so far trying to make a career for himself.

Doesn't look like a disastrous type of injury though, a partial patellar tear is something he should be able to return from.

Is it the same knee he tore his ACL in? I don't think it's a career ender by any means, but his game right now is predicated on his speed. He's going to have to adapt.

Such a shame. Must be so frustrating to be constantly crippled by injuries, constantly in pain.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Awful news. I was very high on us drafting him, he was gone by the time we drafted Smart.

he is cursed with injury it seems.  Smart was hurt a bunch , but not anything tragic or he couldn't get over in a few weeks.

At least Roy was able to become a great player before he went downhill.  Exum may never have been a great player even without injuries, and he certainly will never be one at this point.
