“We’ve been talking about it for a long time”, Bosh said.

“I’m ready to play. And I’m ready. I’ve done all my work”. I look good when I take my shirt off. But in all due seriousness, and especially with Micky Arison saying ‘hey, see you at camp, ‘ I think it’s moving forward. “I have no reason to believe it’s not. And, you know, we’ll finish this”. Bosh has recently posted some videos of himself working out, although he’s still yet to take contact and the Miami medical staff is still debating whether or not it’s safe for him to play while on blood thinning medication.

How Bosh medicates his condition between games will have an impact on his ability to play going forward.

“But barring a setback in the next few weeks, it would be surprising if Bosh isn’t cleared to play”. The year prior, his season was cut short around the same time after the discovery of blood clots on his lungs.

Bosh, whose last two seasons were cut short by blood clots, said in a podcast released Wednesday that he’s healthy and plans to be with his team for training camp that starts September 27 in the Bahamas. Toronto earned the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference by virtue of their outstanding 56-26 regular season record. However, he is yet to be cleared even though he is already doing basketball drills.

He admits the road back has been tough but is adamant has not yet played his last National Basketball Association game.

Bosh played for the Raptors from 2003-2010, when he left to sign with the Heat. Like most players, injuries are unavoidable.

“Like I said, we did everything”. He averaged 19.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game while connecting on 36.5 percent of his three-point tries. The last time he played was on February 9.

Chris Bosh would be considered “untouchable” in the trade market if not for his recent health problems. Haslem was interviewed during his induction into the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce Sports Hall of Champions and he noted that he is not sure when Bosh will be coming back but he expects the player to be at the upcoming training camp and participate, Miami Herald reported.
