Chris Bosh’s health has been the biggest question surrounding the Miami Heat since February. The All-Star forward has been fighting a blood clots issue for the last two years and he’s been the biggest reason for the Miami Heat’s unknown future.
Bosh’s large cap number and absence from the court has many people wondering, would the second occurrence of blood clots force Bosh to retire? The Heat feared as much but now it appears he could be coming back next season.
Following from Dan Le Betard of ESPN, transcribed by Dan Feldman of NBC Sports.
What I know of private medical history, which is to say I have partial information because so much of this is private and guarded and protected, I don’t know what’s going to be different in six months about what’s so right now. Bosh is going to think, six months from now, he’s also going to be able to play. And the recurrence of clots is still going to be something that’s problematic and that doctors might not clear him on. And so I’m sitting here looking at this, and everything that was the wrestling match during the postseason about getting Bosh back out there, I think it’s going to exist and then, later on down the road, this is going to get messy where the Heat, I think – now, keep in mind, I’m saying this with partial information – but I think this is going to end up in a place where they’re fighting over whether or not he retires.
I just got a text saying that Bosh should be able to play next season. So, the Heat expect Bosh to be able to play next season.
What I’m telling you is that Bosh is committed to getting back, and the Heat are hopeful that that can be so
