Battling injuries, Mason crucial to Bears’ success

By Jessika Harkay | Sports Writer

Since coming off a career-high game with 40 points on 9-for-12 shooting from 3-point range against TCU on Feb. 2, Baylor men’s basketball senior guard Makai Mason has struggled due to a toe injury.

For the majority of the season, Mason has been a crucial component to the consistency of the Bears’ offense, leading the Bears in points per game (15.6) and assists (3.2 per game) while shooting 37 percent from 3-point range.

As a young team with only two seniors, Mason has become someone that younger players look up to.
