The Heat made the announcement Friday.

In an official statement released by the Miami Heat, Heat and Chris Bosh has been working hard in the last few months, with the help of the team’s doctors and physician, to get Bosh be back in the court and play.
Saying “little setbacks happen”, Chris Bosh vowed on Friday night to continue his comeback to the National Basketball Association without specifically addressing what had caused him to fail a preseason physical with the Miami Heat. “The Miami Heat regret that it remains unable to clear Chris to return to basketball activities”. He recovered and was averaging 19.1 points last season when the second bout with clots began in February – though the ones discovered then did not cause health issues anywhere near as serious as what he dealt with in 2015.
“Among the references in Bosh”s documentaries have been ones to former Florida Panthers forward Tomas Fleischmann, who has pushed past similar issues with blood clotting to return to the National Hockey League.
Even though Bosh is now unfit, he stated that he is positive top soon make a comeback.
“So it wasn”t a matter of if I”m going to play again, but when,” he said.
The Heat do not agree. The Heat will hold media day on Monday and their first practice of the post-Wade era in the Bahamas when training camp opens on Tuesday. And surprisingly, Dwyane Wade left the Heat early this off-season to join the Chicago Bulls.
“I wouldn’t be a friend if I didn’t express to him my concerns”, Wade told AP. I wish him all the best. To me, that’s always important.
“That doesn’t stop me from wanting to share my creative side with you guys”. With Dragic under contract in Miami for at least the next three seasons with a player option in the fourth season, it’s a rebuild he’s ready to be a part of.
The second episode of Bosh’s series was released Saturday. Even though the complications are not considered to be life-threatening as long as they are treated, they will require constant medication and trying to play with it would be unrealistic.
Also unclear: If Bosh is actually on bloodthinners, and if so, what his regimen is. “And they get all the data possible to put their formula into it and customize it for me.”.
Fleischmann takes his blood thinners via injection during the season and has to use exact amounts so that it will not affect his bloodstream whenever he is playing or practicing. Since Bosh is signed for three more years and $76 million, the Heat remain on the hook for his entire contract, and would be unable to waive him until February 9 in order for his contract not to count against the salary cap.

He wants to play, though the blood-clot problems that ended his 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons and now are keeping his 2016-17 season from getting started may make that impossible.
