The 2016-2017 NBA season has just began and fans are excited to see how their teams compete at each other. A particular team, the Miami Heat is in unfamiliar situation. They started the season without any of the Big 3 that was once a household name in the NBA.
LeBron James re-joined the Cleveland Cavaliers last 2014 while Dwayne Wade, the heart and soul of this franchise, signed with the Chicago Bulls this season. The only one left with the Heat is Chris Bosh who was diagnosed with blood clots and have missed a lot of games the past two NBA seasons.
Bosh, an 11-time All-Star was eager to return this season but did not pass the physical exam last September and was not cleared to play, as reported by Miami Herald. After learning Chis Bosh's condition, Miami Heat team president Pat Riley stated that Bosh's stint with the Miami Heat is done and their organization is no longer looking forward to his return with the team, according to Sun Sentinel.
The whole organization was behind Chris Bosh and did everything to help him get back on the playing court but unfortunately, there was a complication during his physical exam before the start of the season and Bosh was not allowed to play. Bosh signed a five-year $118 million deal with the Heat last 2014 and is under contract till 2018.
The NBPA or National Basketball Players Association is closely monitoring Chris Bosh's situation with the Miami Heat. There were reports that the Heat will keep Bosh on their roster until March 2017 to prevent him from signing with another NBA team or to even play in the playoffs round when and if he's cleared to play, per ESPN.
With his current situation, Chris Bosh created a mini-series via Uninterrupted. Bosh talked about his life, struggles and his motivation for returning and playing for another NBA game. Bosh wants to be remembered as a fighter and not only as a member of the Big 3 that won 2 NBA championships. He remains driven and inspired by his family and 5 kids.
A true champion and a competitor, Chris Bosh is still hoping he would be able to play another NBA game. Basketball fans and players close to him looks forward to his recovery and if he would still be cleared to play again.
