Timofey Mozgov: So what’s expected from me? Basically, it’s simple. As it’s easy to guess, I have to wear Nike shoes always and everywhere. I make a reservation about the shoes, because the league directly is sponsored by adidas. And that company is providing us with all the sportswear that we have to wear during every practice and game. The rules only allow us to choose the shoes. And we can also wear something else that belongs to our personal contracts if it’s not mentioned as a “franchise gear”. But outside the court, yeah: it’s Nike, everywhere, completely, and entirely. Be it a walk in the city or streetball on the court near your place. What do I say, even fulfilling the desire to shoot the ball alone in your backyard))) Rush'n Hoops

Timofey Mozgov: An exception, like I said, is the NBA dress code… During all the official activities of the League – including, of course, the games – we have wear civilian clothes. No tracking suits, otherwise there’s a fine! Because of that, like I said before, I have a lot of clothes made for me here. Not so long ago I have visited a very-very large shop (maybe the largest in the world) of big shoes. Right away I bought myself seven pairs of cool shoes there))) My agreement with Nike is signed for the entire term of my first NBA contract. It also spelled out my mandatory participation in promotions of the company. None of them happened yet. But as far as I know, they have something planned for the summer in Russia, as a part of League activities. So expect me, guys – I think there’s a chance we’ll see each other in May or June already)) Rush'n Hoops

Nuggets center Timofey Mozgov has an eye on returning to the lineup before the original two-week timeline. He did some on-court activities Monday morning, and when asked if he would be back by the end of the original timeline, he said, "Sooner." Mozgov will miss the rest of the regular season after suffering a sprained ankle and sprained knee on the same play April 5 vs. Oklahoma City. He'll return after the playoffs' first round begins.

When Timofey Mozgov hit the floor Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Denver, Nuggets coach George Karl said it was "an eerie feeling for me. I thought he was hurt bad, the way he was acting." Mozgov, a 7-foot-1 center acquired from the New York Knicks in the Carmelo Anthony trade, is listed as being out 10 to 14 days. So it's possible, depending on his recovery, that he could play during the NBA playoffs. Mozgov has a Grade 2 sprained ankle and a Grade 1 sprained knee. The ankle is the more serious injury, but there are no fractures. Denver Post

As if the Nuggets didn't have enough injury problems, Timofey Mozgov is their latest player to go down. In the first quarter Tuesday night, the 7-foot-1 center suffered a sprained left ankle and knee against Oklahoma City. He is scheduled to have an MRI today and didn't travel with the Nuggets to Dallas for tonight's game. "It's not a great time for an injury," Mozgov said. "It's never a good time for an injury. The doctor said my knee is OK, nothing serious. But about my ankle? We'll see." Denver Post

New Nugget center Timofey Mozgov proposed to his girlfriend Alla several weeks ago. They decided to seal the deal quietly, in a private ceremony in Las Vegas over All-Star Weekend. They arrived in Vegas, and looked around for a nice little chapel. They didn't like some of the first options they saw. They also had questions about the paperwork -- with his fiancee due to take a trip to Russia soon, the paperwork needed to be in order almost immediately. A bit of research at the hotel on Friday revealed that, basically, they had to get married within a few minutes, or risk not having the proper paperwork in time for Alla's trip. Mozgov wrote about the episode on Sports.ru, and it has been translated into English by journalist Alexander Chernykh: Literally abandoning everything, we jumped into the limo dressed right as we were. Me -- in a tracksuit, which I was wearing to look around the city. Alla -- not in a white dress either. ... ESPN.com
