Update: In Miami's first game without Shaquille O'Neal, Mourning started at center and played 34 minutes Saturday night in Miami's loss to Milwaukee.
Recommendation: Mourning didn't disappoint as O'Neal's replacement, scoring 14 points with 12 rebounds and four blocks. It remains to be seen if Mourning will be able to sustain this much playing time over the course of Shaq's ankle, which is expected to keep him out from 3-to-6 weeks. Heat coach Stan Van Gundy shortened his team's rotation for the game, and utilized starting small forward Antoine Walker and starting power forward Udonis Haslem at center at times.
