Ending nearly three months of suspense about his future, Miami Heat center Alonzo Mourning said last night at his annual Zoâs Summer Groove charity game in Miami that he would play again next season â a choice he kept secret to the end, insisting he was still deciding just hours before the actual announcement.âI want to redeem myself and try to help this team redeem ourselves as an organization and try to get back on track,â Mourning said. âThat wasnât the Miami team you saw in the playoffs last year.âHe added, âIt left a sour taste in my mouth and itâs time to really end it all on the right note.âThis was the third straight summer Mourning considered retirement before choosing to keep playing. Next season will be his 15th in the N.B.A., not including a full year he missed with kidney problems that led to a transplant in 2003.

He knew something was wrong. He felt it during the season. He felt it during summer league. The problem for Al Jefferson was greater than a bum ankle, however. He found believers about his plight to be harder to find than those poor souls stuck on that island in ``Lost."

I am. I&#39;ve been eyeballing Thursday&#39;s Colts-Patriots AFC title rematch since the schedule was released. Speaking of released, the Patriots&#39; Ty Law and every other NFL defensive back will have to let go this season after the allowable 5-yard chuck.
