Lakers' Timofey Mozgov: Game time decision against Warriors

Mozgov (eye) is a game time decision for Friday's matchup with the Warriors, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis:

After being considered doubtful to play, head coach Luke Walton appears to have some optimism after all regarding his starting center's status. It's important to know that Mozgov has been cleared of an orbital fracture and concussion, but the problem is that he is still dealing with swelling around his eye. The center would be an important piece to play against the undersized Warriors, but if he is unable to go, it's likely Ivica Zubac will once again get the start and split minutes with backup Tarik Black.
