Heat’s Bosh remains sidelined
MIAMI — When it comes to Chris Bosh, the Miami Heat are still waiting for definitive answers. Apparently, so is Bosh. The Heat leave for Atlanta on Thursday, and they’ll be without Bosh — who will spend the day meeting with more doctors as he keeps trying to find a way to play again this season. Miami resumed practice Wednesday without the All-Star forward, and neither the team nor Bosh has revealed that he has a blood clot.
A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Bosh is on blood-thinning medication again to combat a clot in his leg.
All the Heat will say is that Bosh will not play Friday in Atlanta, and Bosh’s lone comment so far came on Snapchat — where he posted the Kendrick Lamar lyric, “We gonna be all right.”
“He will be with us shortly,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
Bosh was declared out for the remainder of last season at the All-Star break when a clot was found on one of his lungs, a scare that threatened his career and his life. He returned to basketball activities a few months later, is averaging 19.1 points this season and said just last week he thought the clotting issue was behind him.
