What is going on with Chris Bosh?

Chris Bosh had his season end short in February when he was sidelined for what is rumored to be blood clots in his leg. No official report was ever released to the public leaving them only knowing that Bosh had something wrong with his calf. The Heat and Bosh were hopeful that he might be able to make a late season return, but with the Heat in the second round of the playoffs still have Bosh listed as "out indefinitely". This has slowly turned into a battle between Bosh and the Heat organization, as Bosh's camp feels he is fully healthy and ready to return. On the Heat's side of things the medical staff believes Bosh is not ready to make his return yet. Bosh and his wife have been pushing on social media that he is more than ready to go. It is a very strange situation.
What makes the situation so strange is Bosh never had an official press release on what has kept him out and the Heat have not broken the silence either. Bosh has reached out players association to help him get back out on the floor. A meeting will be held between both Bosh's party and the Heat's party to come to a conclusion on whether it is in Bosh's best interest to play. NBPA said the their main concern is Bosh's health.

With all that said adding Bosh back into the Heat's rotation now might be the best thing for the team. They are playing a Toronto team that has struggled in the playoffs and has a history of playoff struggles. Toronto limped out of the first round and lost game one of the second round. Adding Bosh in with limited minutes will give the staff an ability to keep an eye on his health as well as allow him to adjust to Miami's new small ball system. It might throw off Miami's chemistry, but if it allows Bosh enough time to adjust the Heat might be able to threaten the Cleveland Cavaliers in a possible Eastern Conference Finals. With the way Toronto has played recently and how much better Goran Dragic has played it seems like the Heat will be back in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since LeBron left. It would make an amazing headline for LeBron play against the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals with both teams being at full strength.
