MIAMI (AP) — Alonzo Mourning steadfastly believes he can still play at a championship-caliber level. And now, at last, he's back with Miami and ready to resume his past quest — delivering the Heat's first NBA title.
The seven-time All-Star center signed a contract Tuesday to rejoin Miami, the team with whom he spent eight previous seasons — a stint twice interrupted by kidney disease. He's expected to make about $325,000 for the rest of the season, a prorated share of the $1.1 million minimum veteran contract.
"It's definitely been a long time coming," the 35-year-old Mourning said.
