On 22 February 2011, Mozgov was traded to the Nuggets in a three-way blockbuster deal, which also involved the Minnesota Timberwolves that brought Carmelo Anthony to New York.[3]

Return to Khimki (2011)

On 21 July 2011, Mozgov joined Khimki Moscow Region for the second time[4] during the 2011 NBA lockout.[5]

Mozgov made his debut for the Lakers in their season opener on 26 October 2016, recording 12 points and eight rebounds in a 120–114 win over the Houston Rockets.[24] On 14 March 2017, the Lakers shut down a healthy Mozgov for the rest of the season to give the majority of playing time over the final 15 games to the team's younger players.[25][26]

On 6 July 2019, Mozgov was waived by the Magic without having played a game, due to a knee injury.[30] On 28 November 2019, the NBA approved the Magic's petition to have Mozgov's salary removed from their books due to the knee injury. [31]

On 12 April 2021, Mozgov played in his first professional game since 2018, logging six points, six rebounds, and one assist in a 89–83 win over Enisey.[33]
