Hopefully just a sprained ankle
As a doc, just a reminder...sprained ankles can be season limiting or career limiting...remember Hollins before and after...so it could be "just" but many times that doesn't describe a sprained ankle. It can be a team's almost silent killer. I do share your hope the boot is just a precaution for a non serious discomfort he is experiencing.
Doogie should have a tweet coming out soon that he is hearing Nate Mason may not be 100% healthy...
This thread feels a little obsessive....I would think if it was something serious it would have been reported, we are nearly a month out from the Gavitt Tipoff games, should be ok to take a deep breath and assume that things will be ok. Probably rolled his ankle or something during practice and just trying to keep weight off of it to let it heal.

"Mason suffered a minor ankle sprain this month, but he's expected to be fine. He's in the best shape of his career after recovering from a hip injury that sidelined him for several weeks after the NCAA tournament."

Whew. Good news. Thanks for posting this.
Not sure there is such a thing as a “minor” ankle sprain in basketball
Not sure there is such a thing as a “minor” ankle sprain in basketball. Those things tend to linger.
And to me, “minor” injury means you’re back at practice the next day, not walking around in a boot.
Hope they hold him out until he’s fully healed, whenever that may be.
I sprained/tweaked my ankle so many times in basketball it was a swiging door and recovery was in many cases a few days. It will suck when i get older.
My son got a picture with Mason at the football game today. No boot, but he was definitely favoring the one leg and moving cautiously on it. I made sure my son didn't step on it and add to the discomfort.
Go Gophers!!
