Mason had been suspended for a hit he delivered to the head of the GCK Lions' Daniel Sorvik in the 17th minute of play in the game on February 7. The tribunal supports the single judge's decision. Thus, the forward, who has already sat three games out, will still not be available to the Lakers for the next two games. (mso)
