When reports emerged indicating that Chris Boshwas dealing with blood clots again last month, just like he did last season, things didn’t sound promising for him. In fact, it sounded like he was going to have to miss the rest of the year for the Heat. But according to a statement that Bosh put out this morning, he’s doing much better and might even be able to return to the court for Miami this year.
“I know there have been many questions regarding my health and when I will play again,” he said in the statement. “My situation this year has never been life threatening. I am feeling great and currently I do not have deep vein thrombosis.”
Bosh didn’t say when he plans on trying to return, but his entire statement sounded upbeat and positive.
“[I have been] taking every necessary step to make sure I am healthy for myself, my family, and my team,” he said. “I have been working out, training with the team, watching film of the games, walking through plays, and have attended home games despite not being visible to the public. I will continue to support my teammates in every way possible. I remain positive that I will be able to return this season. I truly appreciate everyone’s concern and support.”
This is all very good for Bosh, the Heat, and the NBA as a whole. Stay tuned for further updates regarding Bosh’s condition.
