Chris Bosh Reportedly Has "Worrisome" Calf Issue, Maybe Blood Clot

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 NBA this year. While it’s too soon to know definitively right now, his health may be in jeopardy again. Barry Jackson reports in the Miami Herald:

"The Heat was concerned on Monday about another potentially serious health situation involving Chris Bosh, multiple sources said. Bosh missed Sunday’s All-Star game with a strained calf and returned to Miami for additional tests. A person in touch with the Heat’s front office said a worrisome problem surfaced Monday, beyond merely a strained calf. Another source said his life was not at risk. Asked directly if Bosh had been diagnosed with a blood clot in his calf, agent Henry Thomas responded by text: “Too soon for all of that…. Too soon to report that.” But a source said the concern is that he might have a blood clot in his calf."

The Heat forward would be out indefinitely if he has another blood clot.

Last month, my friend Jordan White wrote a great profile on Bosh for Vice Sports. By all appearances, the Heat big man seems like a great guy, and it goes without saying that everybody is hoping for the best diagnosis possible for him.
