Timofey Mozgov continues to struggle this season and he played just nine minutes in the Cleveland Cavaliers' home loss to the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.

Mozgov didn't score as he missed all three of his shots and also committed four turnovers.

"Hard to say," Mozgov said when asked what's different this year. "Every season is different so just have to be strong enough mentally."

Mozgov underwent knee surgery this past offseason.

In three games since returning, Mozgov is 4-of-19 from the field. He has scored 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in 44 minutes.

"A lot of things," Mozgov said when asked what hasn't been working for him. "It's my things. I keep them with me."
