Chris Bosh dealing with another blood-clot scare

Bosh took blood thinners for seven months previous year after the clot in his lungs was discovered.

Multiple sources around the National Basketball Association tell me Chris Bosh’s situation is much worse than people are being made aware of. The person said the current situation is not believed to be as serious as what he faced a year ago. He adds that the sources say that Bosh’s season has not yet been declared over, as they work hard to determine the best course of action to alleviating the problem. The initial belief is that Bosh has blood clotting in his calf, according to a league source in touch with the Heat’s front office, and a Yahoo! report.

Agent Henry Thomas told the Miami Herald, when asked if his client had been diagnosed with another blood clot: “Too soon for all of that”.

Bosh missed 30 games after the All-Star Game last season because of blood clots in his lungs. It’s too soon to throw around words like retirement, but with this problem and serious health risk rearing it’s ugly head again, that option is obviously considered.

The Heat did not comment Monday about Bosh’s condition. He’d missed eight games in December with a calf injury before returning to play 21 heading into the All-Star Game, but missed the remainder of the season because of blood clots.

Fellow Heat star Dwyane Wade said Sunday the team was trying to stay positive for Bosh. The team has failed to gel this season and with the trade deadline just days away, many are expecting roster moves that could create more instability. The Heat now sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and are just two games behind Boston for the third seed.

We’ll update you when more becomes available on Bosh’s condition.
