For the second straight season, Miami Heat big man Chris Bosh came out of the NBA All-Star Weekend with a big question mark about his health. Last year, his season came to an end after it was discovered that he had blood clots in his lungs. This season, before the festivities of the All-Star Weekend could begin, Bosh elected to miss the weekend due to a calf strain. That injury was revealed to be more than just a strain and he actually had another issue with blood clots.
Bosh has stated that he might have to take blood thinners in order to play for the remainder of his career but for the immediate future, there has been no update on his 2015-16 season, but we might be getting an update soon on the status of his season.

Miami Heat All-Star forward Chris Bosh is under increasing pressure from physicians and the organization to sit out the rest of the season because of the potential dangers of a recurring medical condition, league sources told The Vertical.
Bosh has a meeting planned with Heat officials, including owner Mickey Arison and president Pat Riley, in the next 24 hours to move closer to a final determination on his status, league sources said.
Bosh, 31, has been searching for ways to continue playing this season with the use of blood thinners but that scenario has been met with significant resistance, sources said.
If Bosh is determined to be out for the season, his prospective return to basketball would be re-evaluated again in three to six months, sources said.
