Timofey Mozgov: Undergoes Knee Debridement

Mozgov underwent a debridement on his right knee Thursday and will require six weeks of recovery, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis:

Mozgov's rehabilitation shouldn't afflict his ability to be healthy by training camp, but his progress will be watched throughout the course of the offseason. Despite the signings of Kevin Love (shoulder) and Tristan Thompson, Mozgov is set to act as the Cavaliers' starting center in 2015-16. After joining the team in January, Mozgov started all but one of his 46 regular-season appearances, averaging 10.6 points (on 59 percent shooting), 6.9 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 0.8 assists in 25 minutes.
