Mourning back with Miami

? Alonzo Mourning and the Miami Heat finally are together again.

Mourning signed a contract Tuesday and practiced with the team in Miami, where he spent eight seasons — a stint twice interrupted by kidney disease.

Mourning is expected to make about $325,000 for the rest of the season, based on a prorated share of the $1.1 million minimum veteran contract.

Mourning may be in uniform Thursday when Miami visits New Jersey. He averaged 10.4 points and 7.1 rebounds in 18 games for the Nets earlier this season.
