Chris Bosh dealing with another blood-clot scare

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported Bosh’s condition goes beyond the calf injury that kept him out of Saturday’s Three-Point Contest and Sunday’s All-Star Game in Toronto, though a source told Jackson that Bosh’s latest condition is not life-threatening.

Chris Bosh’s return to the Heat, and All-Star status, this season after being sidelined with blood clots in his lungs has been one of the happier stories in the National Basketball Association this year.

Bosh will spend “the next few days” reviewing his options, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because the Heat has not revealed the matter publicly. But a source said the concern is that he might have a blood clot in his calf. “When we get back to Miami we’ll do everything we need to do to make sure it’s right”.

The fact that Bosh remained in Toronto, and was active over the course of the weekend, suggests he’s at least optimistic that the problem – whether it’s a clot or not – can be managed.

The Heat’s first game after the All-Star break is Friday at the Atlanta Hawks.

Last year, that wasn’t the case.

Multiple sources around the National Basketball Association tell me Chris Bosh’s situation is much worse than people are being made aware of. He has since returned to Miami for additional medical tests, and those tests may have indicated something quite serious: a return of Bosh’s blood clots. The game was the most-viewed program on cable television Sunday night. The network says McGrady will also contribute analysis to news and information programming, including “SportsCenter”.
