Timofey Mozgov (born 16 July 1986 in St. Petersburg, Russia) Petersburg, Russia) is a Russian professional basketball player who plays as a center for KHIMki Moscow in the Russian league.
When he was young, because of his outstanding physical condition, he was selected by his teacher to start practicing basketball. Mozgov learns NBA player Kevin Garnett's basketball skills by watching a tv broadcast before heading outside to play in real combat.

Six months later, on February 22, 2011, the Denver Nuggets reached a three-team multi-player deal with the Knicks and Timberwolves, which involved 13 players, and was traded to the Nuggets.
He has the skills and skills of a small forward, strong impact, amazing athleticism, likes to block and protect the basket, has a good shooting feel, and trains hard. Although it is not yet at the level of the All-Star, the defensive efficiency on the inside is extremely high, and it can end the offense in a low-level hook or down; but the shortcomings are as obvious as the advantages, lack of shooting ability, frequent mistakes; the Nuggets period is also mediocre.
On January 8, 2015, the Cleveland Cavaliers officially announced that they had received Timofe Mozgov and a 2015 second-round pick from the Nuggets with two first-round picks and one trade exception.
14-15 season with the team to reach the Finals, this is also the first time in his career to step into the Finals floor, this year the Cavaliers can be described as injury camp, Irving injury retirement, Love season reimbursement, cavaliers sacrificed seven-man rotation, and the Warriors bloody 6 games, and finally lost 2:4 to the Golden State Warriors, Mozkov also showed his ability to play hard battles, G2 – G6 averaged 29.7 minutes per game, and in game 4 of the Finals, when the Cavaliers lost 82-103 to the Warriors, Mozgov played 33 minutes and had 28 points and 10 rebounds, setting a new career record for single-game scoring (including regular season and playoffs), and becoming the first center in Cavaliers history to score 28+ in a single game in the playoffs since Brad Doherty in 1993, and also left a strong mark on his playoff journey. In recognition of their spirit of daring to fight, they are also called the Seven Jedi Knights by fans!!
On June 20, 2016, the Cavaliers defeated the Warriors 93-89 on the road, winning 4-3 on aggregate, and Mozgov was crowned the NBA championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
On July 1, 2016, the Los Angeles Lakers and Timoffy Mozgov reached a signing agreement. On July 9, the two sides formally signed a four-year contract worth $64 million. Later, this contract has also been criticized, becoming one of the four premium contracts given by former Lakers GM Kupchek!!
