There was a controversy brewing over the matter, as Bosh had been pushing to be cleared to play for the Heat. There was even talk that the NBA players’ union might get involved.

Bosh suffers from potentially life-threatening blood clots and has been on blood thinners, which makes him susceptible to easy bruising and potentially serious injury. A blood clot scare he had led to him missing the All-Star Game, but he says he is now fine.
