REPORT: Exum cleared for Olympics

Dante Exum has reportedly been cleared to feature in the Boomers' Olympic campaign after scans on his injured finger revealed a compound dislocation, but no fracture.

ESPN reports Exum is in doubt for the tournament opener against Spain, but would be looking to return at some stage during the group phase of the tournament.

The guard's injury scare was a concerning subplot to another stirring Boomers win, with Australia edging Games hosts France 83-82 on Sunday night (Monday AEST) to complete a confidence-boosting Olympics lead-up.

Dyson Daniels made a tough lay-up from Josh Giddey's inbound pass with less than two seconds on the clock to win the game in Orleans, south of Paris.

It followed impressive defeats of Puerto Rico and Serbia, as well as a six-point loss to a full-strength United States, since Brian Goorjian settled on his final 12.

But there were serious concerns for Exum, who left the game in the second quarter with a finger injury.

Those were allayed by Australian chef de mission Anna Meares on Monday, with the former track cycling champion confident the 29-year-old will feature.

“[Exum] suffered a compound dislocation of the right index finger in the game,” Meares said. 

“X-rays have confirmed that there was no fracture and he is expected to continue on the path to compete at the Games.”

"Any time one of your key pieces goes down there's some degree of concern," teammate Jock Landale added.

"They've cleared him for play and Dante's a pretty tough individual ... he's definitely a key piece of the puzzle for us."
