Los Angeles Lakers center Timofey Mozgov won't play Wednesday when the team visits the Atlanta Hawks.

The Lakers are on night two of a road back-to-back. Mozgov suffered a left eye contusion in Tuesday's loss to the Indiana Pacers, and a CT scan on Wednesday was inconclusive, the Lakers said.

Mozgov signed a four-year, $64-million contract with the Lakers in July. He's averaging 8.5 points and six rebounds in 22 minutes through four games.
