DENVER (AP) -- Denver Nuggets center Timofey Mozgov left Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers with a left leg injury.
Mozgov was injured after making a layup with 10:01 left in the third quarter. After he scored, Mozgov landed on his left leg and then fell to the floor in pain. He went straight to the locker room with the help of teammates Kenneth Faried and Chris Andersen.
The Nuggets said after the game that X-rays were negative.
Mozgov had four points and five rebounds in seven minutes before leaving. He is averaging 5.8 points and 4.5 rebounds a game this season.
