Bosh: I had clots, Heat doctors thought my career was over

I have it. I know I have it. “We already gave you the I-wasn’t-settled, I-wasn’t-in-shape, so he’s got a free summer, and he’s happy, he’s healthy and so his number-one objective is to come back in October in better shape and a better play, and also improved”.

The film, entitled “Rebuilt”, is being released in parts on the website.

Nonetheless, Bosh recently revealed that he believes that he has found a new medication regiment that will allow him to revive his National Basketball Association career as soon as the upcoming season. The team is planning to welcome him to training camp but is not yet comfortable with clearing him to play long term, sources told ESPN.com. Bosh has still not been formally cleared by the Heat with media day set for Monday and the start of training camp set for Tuesday. Blood clot issues have forced him to miss the second half of the past two seasons.

Training camp has almost arrived, and from Bosh’s point of view, the situation has not been resolved, sources said. They care about his health and safety above anything else but owing him roughly $75 million over the next three seasons complicates things.

At season’s end, Heat President Pat Riley said he told Dragic that arriving out of shape for this upcoming training camp could not be case, after Dragic dealt with the hard pregnancy of his wife in the 2015 offseason.

The Heat has been putting forward Chris Bosh through a physical examination and a battery of tests this week, and he still had not been cleared medically to return as of Wednesday morning, according to an NBA-employed official with knowledge of the situation.

It took a while for Bosh to catch his first blood clot issue, but he didn’t take a chance after waking up on February 11 (Thursday before All-Star game) with a sore calf. (But) I don’t get a bill. “I immediately went to the hospital to get it checked out and that’s when they eventually told me I had a small clot in my leg and they had to do further testing”. Secondly, this isn’t real. I have it, I know I have it. “This doctor is really telling me what I think he’s telling me”.
