Pitino said on WCCO radio over the weekend that Mason is still day-to-day, but he's not seriously hurt and not expected to be out long. Mason returned home to Georgia for Christmas. He was given three days off like the rest of the team before the Gophers return to prepare for this Saturday’s game against Harvard.
“He’ll get some time off,” Pitino said. “I don’t anticipate him missing a whole lot, so dodged a bullet there, which was obviously very, very important.”
Pitino said the injury initially looked like Mason hurt his Achilles’ tendon.
“But it was really just kind of like the back part of his ankle,” he said. “Fortunately, it’s nothing too serious.”
