The Miami HEAT announced today that it will retire Alonzo Mourning's No. 33 jersey on Monday, March 30 vs. the Orlando Magic.

Mourning, who announced his retirement on January 22, will become the first HEAT player to have his jersey retired.

The HEAT will honor Mourning with a special halftime video presentation and jersey retirement ceremony, where his jersey will be placed alongside the HEAT Division, Conference, and NBA championship banners at the AmericanAirlines Arena.

In a sterling 15-year NBA career, Mourning captured an NBA championship with the HEAT in 2006, seven All-Star berths and twice was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Mourning, who also captured a gold medal with the United States Senior National Team at the 2000 Olympics, appeared in 838 games with the HEAT, Charlotte Hornets and New Jersey Nets and averaged 17.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.81 blocked shots, 1.1 assists and 31.0 minutes while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor and 69.2 percent from the foul line during his career.

He finished his professional career with 14,311 points, 7,137 rebounds and 2,356 blocks (10th all-time in NBA history).

The NBA informed the Heat on Friday that Dwyane Wade can no longer wear his stylish bandages on the court.

Wade can wear the bandage beneath his left eye if necessary, but he isn't allowed to place any special logos or text on them.

"We have a rule that players are not permitted to display any identification [promotional or otherwise] during games on their body, hair, etc.," league representative Tim Frank wrote in an e-mail to the Miami Herald.

Wade wasn't surprised by the league's reaction.

"I don't really have anything to say. I expected it," he said through a team spokesman.

The Heat spoke with Portland about acquiring Jerryd Bayless and Channing Frye in a package for Shawn Marion, but the Blazers were seeking more than his expiring contract.

Before the Heat traded Shawn Marion to the Raptors for Jermaine O'Neal, they were reportedly approached by the Suns about re-acquiring Shaquille O'Neal.

However, Miami had no interest in taking Shaq's large contract on once again, according to a team official directing involved in the discussions.

For the first time this season, the Pistons are now below .500 after losing to the Heat on Tuesday night. In fact, the last time Detroit had a losing record was Nov. 17, 2006.

Jermaine O'Neal has played three games with the Heat, with varying results, but has vowed to be ready to help the team win down the stretch.

"I haven't been able to put together a complete game thus far, but you have nights like that where you can't really find your shot, shots feel good when they leave your hand but just don't fall, and it was one of those nights for me," O'Neal said.

He had just 6 points and 2 rebounds on 2-for-10 shooting in 25 minutes against the Magic on Sunday night.

"I actually apologized to them at the end of the game," O'Neal said after the 122-99 loss. "I just felt as though I wasn't able to help, and I had one of those games that NBA players kind of dread, you know, and you go home and think about things that you did in the game and get ready for the next one."

Miami will face Detroit on Tuesday night in South Beach.

"I expect to play well, and I don't use excuses at all. I'm paid to do my job, and if I don't do my job then I'm going to be critical of myself. No matter what the scenario is, when I step onto the court with my jersey on, I have got to do that job.

I will respond come Tuesday."

Dwyane Wade exploded for a career-high 50 points on Sunday night in Miami's 122-99 loss to Orlando, and came away impressed with the Southeast division leaders.

"It's the hardest game you're going to play in the NBA. You have to close out in the paint with Dwight Howard, and then close out to the three-point shooters," Wade said. "Then, you probably have to go back in there and help on Howard and close back out. It's the hardest 48 minutes you're going to play."

Wade also discussed his career mark, which came on 17-for-30 shooting from the floor and 14-for-15 from the foul line.

"No player alone can carry anything, and I've never ever thought that. If anyone thinks that, they're crazy. It takes a team to win, especially to win big and against a good team like Orlando.

"It was bittersweet. It's great to know that you could score 50 points, but it'd be better to walk away with a win."

With Miami down big to the Orlando Magic on Sunday night, coach Erik Spoelstra removed all of his starters from the floor for garbage time except for Dwyane Wade who was close to 50 points, the Associated Press is reporting.

Spoelstra left Wade in the game until his shot over Courtney Lee gave him 50 points.

?It?s great to know you can score 50 points, but it would be better to walk away with a win,? said Wade, who was 17-for-30 shooting from the floor. ?It?s bittersweet. No player alone can carry everything.?

Orlando defeated Miami by a final score of 122-99.

Dwyane Wade sued his estranged wife and two of her lawyers Wednesday over accusations the he contracted a sexually transmitted disease through an extramarital affair, the Associated Press is reporting.

According to the report, Wade is seeking at least $50,000 in damages from each defendant.

Raptor forward Shawn Marion is looking forward to his fresh start in Toronto, and more importantly he is looking forward to once again playing in a more up tempo system after playing the last season in Miami's 'boring style', the Associated Press is reporting.

"The game is supposed to be exciting," Marion said Tuesday as he and Marcus Banks were introduced to the Toronto media. "I'm tired of playing that boring style in the half court, watching everybody just go up and run plays, call this play. That's boring. The fans don't enjoy it either. People like to see you get up and down, have high-scoring games and dunks and all that stuff. That's what it's about."
