“I’ve got a lot of [stuff] in my head,” Mozgov said. “I’m not going to share it to nobody. You ask me what’s going on in my head, you’re not going to find out. Only Sasha [Kaun] knows. You don’t want to be there, trust me.”
Mozgov’s collapse has been baffling. He has no explanation for why he fit so well last year or why he has struggled so badly this season. He has alluded to personal problems for the past few months, but won’t go any further in discussing them. Meanwhile, his on-court productivity has suffered. He’s averaging 6.3 points and 4.4 rebounds, but it’s the defensive breakdowns that have been more concerning.
