Heat’s Chris Bosh Eying a Return to the Court Next Season

NBA via Miami Heat(MIAMI) — Even though he was forced to sit out the rest of the season due to blood clots in his lungs, the Miami Heat announced that All-Star forward Chris Bosh will be healthy and ready to return to the basketball court next season.
After a recent session with the media, Bosh admitted that he played with the clots for “three weeks probably” before his diagnosis.
Bosh vacationed with teammate Dwayne Wade in Haiti during the All-Star break, felt discomfort, and was then admitted to a hospital after his wife pushed him to do so.
“She saves my life on a daily basis,” Bosh said with a grin. “I was in a lot of pain, and it got to the point where I kind of had to swallow my pride a little bit. It’s an athlete thing. We’re always trying to be superheroes out there all the time. I had to put my pride to the side. Usually the woman is going to be the first to do that. I went ahead and bit the bullet and went to the doctor.”
Fortunately for Bosh, he’ll be able to resume his basketball career.
The 30-year-old Bosh is a 12-year NBA veteran and is in his fifth season with the Heat.
