The Denver Nuggets are expected to exercise the 2015-16 team option on Timofey Mozgov worth $5 million.

Mozgov would then become an unrestricted free agent in 2016.

The Nuggets can pick up Mozgov's option any time until June 29.

Mozgov has averaged 11.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in the Nuggets' first two games of the season.
