Exploratory Testing is useful during regression testing to ensure that recent changes have not effected existing functionality, regardless of the sprint phase.Exploratory Testing helps to identify potential risks and edge cases at early stages and before UAT.Identifying and addressing the bugs promptly enhance the quality of the product as well as the trust of the stakeholders.Exploratory testing helps to ensure the new features are working as expected and early detection of defects.

It is never too late to find a bug. But it is better earlier than later.

So ultimately you should decide with your team when you can set aside some time for that. Maybe you can prioritize which type of testing is the most important to your team, which the second important etc. For example acceptance testing first, then exploratory testing. If you don't have time to do both before devclose, maybe you can do the exploratory testing at the beginning of the next sprint, when no UAT have to be done, yet.

Scrum does not have a recomandation for the timing of doing the exploratory testing.Scrum consider that testing, as any other activities like design..., is a part of the development effort needed to consider that the item/US is done. So exploratory tests should be done during all the development process of the US and they have specially more sense after passing all the planned tests with success, but they should be done certainly before considering the item DONE .
