Mason finished with 16 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists, one rebound, one steal and one block in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 114-101 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

De'Aaron Fox (back) left this game early, allowing Mason to see minutes as the primary point-guard. He was able to tie his season-high with 16 points while adding six assists. Mason is more of a deep league player but if Fox needs to miss some time, Mason could be worth a look as a streaming option.

Mason (heel) posted six points (3-6 FG), six assists and three rebounds across 15 minutes in Saturday's 113-108 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie now has a pair of six-point efforts in his two games since returning from a 21-game absence. He's logged modest playing time in both contests, but he could certainly see an appreciable bump in playing time over the balance of the season as the Kings look to further develop their young players.

Mason (heel) is probable for Saturday's tilt against the Lakers, Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason returned from a plantar fascia injury Thursday after missing 21 games, posting six points, two assists, one rebound and a steal in 14 minutes. He's presumably dealing with some lingering soreness, hence the probable tag. If he's unexpectedly held out, look for Garrett Temple to see some extra run.

Mason tallied six points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal in 16 minutes during Thursday's 110-107 loss to Oklahoma City.

EDGE Analysis

Mason made his return from a plantar fascia injury, finishing with just six points in 16 minutes. These types of injuries can be tricky to manage and the Kings are in no rush to get him back. D'Aaron Fox (eye) could return as soon as the next game and has been playing well of late. Fox is nothing more than a deeper league option at this stage.

Mason (heel) will play in Thursday's contest against the Thunder and will be on a minutes restriction, Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason has been out since the New Year with a plantar fascia injury. Prior to going down, he was posting 7.6 points and 2.9 assists across 18.6 minutes per game. It's unclear exactly what his minutes restriction will be, though the Kings probably don't feel much of a need to rush him back.

Mason (heel) is listed as probable for Thursday's matchup against the Thunder, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason hasn't played since December 31, missing the Kings last 21 games with a heel injury. While he will likely be on a minutes restriction initially, Mason could eventually see an increased workload as the Kings will rely on their younger players for the rest of their season.

Mason (heel) will remain out through the All-Star break, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 in Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason is said to be progressing well and has not experienced any setbacks, but the Kings will exercise caution and hold him out for at least a couple more weeks as he continues to battle a plantar fascia injury. The Kansas product could be back in the mix before the end of the month, however, and he'll have a chance to see increased minutes down the stretch, as the Kings have publicly pivoted toward a younger rotation.

Mason recently underwent an MRI, which revealed a tear in the plantar fasciitis tendon in his right heel. He's expected to miss roughly 4-to-6 weeks, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason had reportedly been dealing with some soreness in his heel, which prompted the Kings to have him undergo additional testing. It's now been confirmed to be a more serious issue, which will cost him 4-to-6 weeks of action. That would put a return somewhere around mid-to-late February, though that will depend on how well the recovery process goes. The rookie second-round pick's absence should pave the way for guys like De'Aaron Fox, George Hill and Garrett Temple to see slightly expanded roles.

Mason (heel) will be sidelined for Tuesday's contest against the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason continues to recover from a right heel bruise, which is apparently still giving him too much discomfort to take the floor Tuesday. With him and George Hill (personal) also sidelined, De'Aaron Fox should see significant run and could make for an intriguing DFS option. Over the past three games, Fox has posted 15.3 points and 7.0 assists across 32.7 minutes per contest.

Mason (heel) is expected to miss one week, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason suffered a bruised right heel in Sunday's game against the Grizzlies and had already been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets. With being out a week, Mason is in line to at least miss the team's next four games, but fellow rookie De'Aaron Fox (quad) is set to return Tuesday, so Mason's absence likely won't have much of an impact on the team's rotation.
