Boshtrich :(

Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh will undergo more tests on his lungs on Friday, and it is feared that he could have blood clots on his lungs that would cause him to miss the rest of the season, Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald reports.

The Heat confirmed on Thursday that Bosh had been admitted to a local hospital to undergo testing, Goodman reported. If blood clots are found on his lungs, Bosh will need to use blood thinners and will not be able to play this season.

Holy Shit bricks batman. This should unite the heat in their charge to run the east

Isn't that the same thing teletovic had?

Jerome Kersey died because of a blood clot recently.

Yep.

Disastrous. Bosh is the max-max paid player in first year of ludicrous contract. Ultimate failure...

So I hear the Heat are planning to sign Dragic to a max. Where does that leave GOATside and Wade?

Heat had the potential to be formidable in the East since Whiteside is proving to be a beast and if Wade's knees could hold up a little longer.

Just when I thought the Heat has a chance to lock up a playoff spot now with Dragic.

Huge blow for the Heat, but at least they caught the problem and he's undergoing treatment before the situation became any more serious, or fatal.

Looks Beasley and Blatche are being considered in Bosh's place. Only problem with Blatche is that he's tied to some Chinese contract for at least throughout February so he can't be signed till later.

Will he be able to return next year ?

I think so. But he seems to like China a lot as there was a rumour Chinese are to sign him again. So there's a good chance for him to return to China unless he's able to snatch a good contract in the NBA.

Chris Bosh’s career could be in peril in twist of fate for Heat

But now Bosh is laid up in the hospital after suffering what is suspected to be a pulmonary embolism — a condition in which an arterty in the lungs becomes clogged when a blood clot breaks off and travels to the lungs. It can be a life-threatening issue if not treated quickly by blood thinners.

According to multiple sources in the medical community, there is a debate on whether it is safe to play contact sports on blood thinners because of the fear of uncontrollable internal — and external — bleeding.

Dealing with the aftermath of blood clots is a tricky business and there’s another scenario in which Bosh could be on lifetime blood thinners if blood tests reveal he has an auto-immune disease related to his being prone to blood clots.

Sounds like a bit of speculation and worst case scenario stuff, but it's still concerning.
