Mozgov said that he is still bothered by his surgically repaired right knee, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. The center said, "It's bothering me, but we're still working on it. Not before the first game, but in the close future, we will be good. I hope so."

Analysis:

Mozgov only averaged 25 minutes in 46 games with Cleveland last year, but that average may decrease slightly while the 7-foot-1 center mends. It appears as if he will play through the injury, but the Cavaliers can call on Anderson Varejao and Tristan Thompson to anchor the defense while Mozgov works his way back. Fantasy owners may need to knock him down a few more pegs on their draft lists.
