Desmond Mason is set to miss the next 10 days due to a sprained right elbow, the Associated Press is reporting.

The injury happened in the Thunder's third game of the season against Minnesota and it flared up worse after their game Friday against the New York Knicks.

"We decided it's best to sit down for a few days so it doesn't get any worse and I don't hit it again," Mason said. "It was the doctors' decision on that one. I couldn't talk them out of it."
