Lakers' Timofey Mozgov: To undergo CT scan Wednesday

Mozgov (eye) will undergo a CT scan Wednesday in order to test for a potential orbital fracture, Mark Medina of Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis:

It was a rough night for Mozgov, who first took a shot to his mouth that required four sutures. He later got hit in the left eye after reentering the game and apparently is dealing with lots of swelling, making it hard for him to see out of the eye. He'll undergo further testing Wednesday, but if the swelling continues to impair his vision, there's a good chance he's held out of Wednesday's matchup with the Hawks. Tarik Black would likely start at center for that contest if Mozgov is ruled out.
