Chris Bosh back? It looks like the answer could be "yes." Earlier today, Bosh hopped on Snapchat to deliver a message to everyone asking him if he's hooping. 

"Yes, I'm hooping," Bosh said, emphatically. "Absolutely. I'm a hooper." And if you need something more than just an enthusiastic claim, CB posted a nine-second clip of himself in the gym.  

Before telling everyone that he's a hooper who is currently hooping, Bosh said, "I know I have been gone for a moment, but I'm back."

Following the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, Bosh underwent tests that revealed blood clots in one of his lungs and forced him to miss the remainder of the season. Bosh returned to the Heat the following season for the opener against the Charlotte Hornets, where he dropped a double-double with 21 points and 10 boards. 

After a strong first half of the 2015-16 campaign, Bosh was voted to be an All-Star for the 11th time in his career. But he was forced to withdraw after what was originally ruled as a strained left calf turned out to be a blood clot in his leg. Even after attempting to use all his available resources to get back on the court, CB was forced to miss the rest of the season. 

Now, it looks like Bosh could be ready for the start of this upcoming season. Will he make it through the entire year? We will definitely be keeping our fingers crossed.
