Less than one year after a kidney transplant, seven-time All-Star Alonzo Mourning will attempt another comeback this approaching season with the New Jersey Nets.  Mourning received a kidney from a cousin on Dec. 19 in a New York hospital. He began taking medicine to avoid organ rejection.

"I am feeling great and am excited about attending training camp and possibly resuming my career," the 34-year-old Mourning said in a statement released by the Nets on Wednesday.

"We look forward to Alonzo joining the Nets in training camp," Nets president Rod Thorn said. "Hopefully, he will be able to resume his career and play at the high level he has in the past."

The Nets said Mourning would not speak with reporters until training camp, which begins Oct. 5.

Mourning averaged 20.0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.98 blocks in 634 NBA games over 12 years, with Charlotte, Miami and New Jersey.
