    Had this same thing. Turned out to be nothing. I think he'll be alright, hopefully.

    They'll do more scans for him to make sure.

    If it was serious, should that have nixed the trade?

    a mass is different from cyst which might was in your case
    biopsy is not advisable in case of mass, only surgical removal will be the option

    Hope he’s ok. That’s crazy. Potentially life saving trade.

    kidney cysts are pretty common, gotta rule out cancer a lot of times though

    Good for him that he got traded, otherwise that thing may have never been discovered.

    renal mass exclusively used to describe a tumors ,we shoud agree to this .

    a cyst ultrasound looks distinctively different and wont be interchangeably named a mass even without additional CT/MRI

    so your Doctor is fine with a kidney tumors ?

    I did a kidney ultrasound. They found what was described as a "hump", described potentially as both a cyst and mass at various points. They sent me for a CT and was then described as a "dromedary hump" of no concern.

    The reporters who are reporting this aren't doctors or even science journalists. Its entirely possible that something is lost in translation between what the doctors say, and what comes out via team sources to sports reporters.

    Doesn't nix the trade, but Pacers get additional 2nd round pick plus cash.
