For the second straight year, Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh missed the rest of the season over due to blood clots, with news first emerging over the All-Star break just like last time.
Last season, Bosh’s condition was considered life threatening. This season, doctors fortunately detected the scare before it spread to other parts of his body, making it a non-life threatening situation at the moment for Bosh.
Regardless, the Miami Heat need Chris Bosh more than ever right now. Trailing 3-2 and traveling back to Charlotte for a Friday night win or go home showdown with the Hornets, the Heat certainly can use a miracle right now. Could that miracle be the shocking early return of a certain 11-time All-Star in the nick of time?
Judging by multiple videos and posts that recently surfaced onto social media, Chris Bosh and his wife Adrienne Bosh are trying to push the Heat into allowing Bosh to make an early return:

Before he was unexpectedly sidelined in February, Chris Bosh had averaged 19.1 points and 7.4 rebounds on 37% shooting from behind the arc in 53 appearances.
Since Bosh’s period of absence begun, the Heat have surprisingly thrived after a serious of changes were made that included Luol Deng moving to the Power Forward position, and Hassan Whiteside moving to the bench.
Nonetheless, the Heat are unquestionably a better team with Chris Bosh on the roster. Questioning this theory is like questioning if the Clippers are better without Blake Griffin – It isn’t arguable. Eventually, the Heat would’ve figured it out and played better than the way they started this season off.
The chances of Chris Bosh returning in the Playoffs are highly unlikely. Regardless, Bosh is still expected to be ready for the start of training camp next season. By then, Miami’s roster may look entirely different, with Hassan Whiteside, Luol Deng, Dwyane Wade, Joe Johnson, and more becoming unrestricted free agents this summer.
