In all likelihood, Alonzo Mourning's 16-season NBA career is over. Mourning came down wrong while trying to block a shot on transition defense Wednesday night, and you could tell by his writhing and pounding on the floor that it probably wasn't just a twisted ankle. The bottom line was a torn patellar tendon in his right knee. If this is the end of the road, we want to thank you for the memories. [link]
