Heat center Alonzo Mourning is still hoping to return to the team, but is one month away from deciding whether to attempt a comeback from major knee surgery.

Mourning has kept his corner locker with the team and has helped Miami's young players improve.

"He's helped me a lot," Joel Anthony said. "To see with your own eyes how hard he really works, that has been great for me. I just listen and learn all I can every time."
