Articles about Desmond Mason

Desmond Mason - In the summertime, it was said that Mason wanted to make one last comeback attempt. However, as of right now, it has not happened. Mason is instead making his way as an artist, something that was always a part-time venture during his NBA career. Three months ago, Mason won a year's free use of an art studio, for the showcasing of his work. No longer the athlete he was, Mason's previous comeback attempt with the Kings was not pretty.

Even though he didn't really show anything, Mason made the team, and he then bizarrely started 4 games to begin the year. The experiment quickly ended after Mason put up a 6.2 PER, and Mason was waived. He has remained unsigned since; proposed links to a couple of different ACB teams never came off.
