Khimki brings back Mozgov, adds Quinn
Timofey Mozgov - BC KhimkiBC Khimki Moscow Region brought a familiar face back and announced a new player with the signing of Timofey Mozgov and Chris Quinn on Thursday. Mozgov (2.16 meters, 25 years old) played four seasons with the club from 2006 through 2010. He averaged 6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 16 Euroleague games as a reserve in his final season with the club, 2009-10. Last season Mozgov played for New York and Denver in the NBA, where he amassed 3.6 points and 2.7 rebounds over 45 games. Mozgov grew up with LenVo St. Petersburg and also played for CSK VVS-2 Samara before joining Khimki for the first time. During his time with Khimki he helped the team reach the 2009 Eurocup title game and qualify for the Euroleague for the first time. He has also developed into a regular for the Russian national team, for whom he played at EuroBasket 2009 and at the FIBA World Championships last summer.

Quinn (1.88 meters, 27 years old) arrives from San Antonio, where he averaged 2.1 points in 38 NBA games last season. He has also played for Miami and New Jersey in the NBA since finishing his college career at the University of Notre Dame. He was chosen to the All-Big East first team in 2006 and has taken part in 239 NBA games.

"I am glad that everything turned out perfectly. I grew up as a player in Khimki and spent great days in here. I have a lot of friends in the team and the adaptation period to the team will not be a problem," Mozgov said. "Khimki is my second home and we quickly reached an agreement. I hope I can help the team in the upcoming season."
