Miami Heat All-Star Chris Bosh has been admitted to a Miami-area hospital to undergo tests on his lungs, according to a team spokesman via reports. Bosh had previously dealt with abdominal discomfort during All-Star Weekend but continued with his planned vacation after the festivities and events in New York.

Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald has more details:

Bosh was “under the weather” on Wednesday when he reported to practice, according to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, and team trainers sent Bosh to see a doctor. He did not attend practice Thursday and was instead admitted to the hospital

Initial tests on Bosh, 30, were inconclusive, according to a team spokesman. An independent source confirmed for the Miami Herald that the initial tests were on Bosh’s lungs. [...]

While in New York over the weekend for the All-Star Game, Bosh complained of pain in his side near his rib cage. He then traveled to Haiti during Carnival with his wife, Adrienne, and Dwyane Wade and Wade’s wife, actress Gabrielle Union.

Asked on Thursday after practice whether Bosh was sick in Haiti, Wade said, “I don’t know if he was sick. I’m not a doctor. I just know he wasn’t feeling good. He wasn’t coughing or throwing up, but he just wasn’t feeling good. So I don’t know when it happened. It could have happened in New York.”

A diagnosis of Bosh's condition has not yet been revealed, if one exists at all. He won Saturday night's Shooting Stars event for the third year in a row played 11 minutes in Sunday's All-Star Game without appearing in excessive pain, although it's unclear if he simply toughed it out or saw his condition worsen in the days since.

The Heat face the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Friday. It is not yet known if Bosh will be able to participate, but the team figures to introduce new point guard Goran Dragic into the lineup.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Strange story, but hope he's alright

[Done_And_Done]

Hopefully he's not out for time. I'm curious to see how the new lineup gels

[senelcoolidge]

Pulmonary embolism. Serious stuff.

[miggyme1]

sounds like he has fluid in his lungs. could be pneumonia. if so.....id shut him down for the rest of the season....thats one thing u dont wanna play with AT ALL.

[edrick]

Shit, hopefully he'll be alright.

[SwishSquared]

"Greg Cote @gregcote

[navy]

Sounds serious. Hopefully it's nothing, but he will probably miss some time.

[keep-itreal]

[Thunderfan86]

[dannysc305]

Just the Heats luck all season long hope he's ok

[robert de niro]

wishing for a fast recovery

[bigt]

Horrible news, especially given the recent acquisitions. Hope he's alright

[BasedTom]

For ****'s sake.

Hope he's alright, basketball reasons aside

[305Baller]

LeBron curse.

[RoseCity07]

Was gonna suggest maybe a bruised v*gina but this sounds serious. Hope he's alright.

[oarabbus]

That's awful, pulmonary embolism is what ended Teletovic's season. I hope Bosh makes a full recovery and can suit up for playoffs.

[sportjames23]

Hope he's okay. Pulmonary embolisms are no joke.

[305Baller]

"Pulmonary embolism is when one or more pulmonary arteries in your lungs become blocked. In most cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or rarely other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT).

Because pulmonary embolism almost always occurs in conjunction with deep vein thrombosis, some doctors refer to the two conditions together as venous thromboembolism (VTE)."

this sounds terrible :wtf:

Bosh Hospital lineup
----------------------

Whiteside
Birdman
Deng
Wade
Dragic

Chalmers
Haslem
Ennis
Johnson/Dragic/Napier

we do need to pick up another forward quick.

[PJR]

Really hope he doesn't have a PE. That is a very serious condition that would require him to take blood thinners and shit. Sheesh.

[poido123]

How long can something like this take?


I wish Bosh good health, it would be unfortunate if the Heat season is completely written off with Bosh out.

This sucks balls.

[YouGotServed]

Morey dodged a bullet there. I'm so glad we didn't sign Bosh.

[LilEddyCurry]

I hope he is alright. Pray for Bosh...

[DukeDelonte13]

a PE ended Andy V's season.

Highly dangerous.

Bosh thought to be done for the season.

[DukeDelonte13]

does anybody have any hard news on blood clots or is it just speculation?

A log ass time, you don't **** with this type of thing.

[oh the horror]

So basically I'm hearing if it is what they say then he's done for the season or even longer. Wow. That basically takes Miami out of the talks there.


Hope Bosh is alright. That's terrible news.

[Dragic4Life]

Bad timing. Hope he's ok.

We need him.

[PejaNowitzki]

Doctors suspect he has blood clots in his lungs, tests are still being run but if he does, he's done with basketball until August.

[tomSR.]

Bad timing. Hope he's ok.

We need him.
:eek:.......... :oldlol:

[DukeDelonte13]

Its confirmed Bosh has blood clots in his lungs.



he's done for the year then. That really sucks, especially right after landing Dragic.

[RightTwoCensor]

How do blood clots develop?

[OnFire]

When it rains it pours. Just when you think something positive on horizon. Get well soon Bosh.

Can we get a 20million injury exemption?

[OnFire]

How do blood clots develop?

Lots of things.. Even just 55hr airline flight people worry about blood clots due to immobility.

[magic chiongson]

damn i wish he'll be ok.

andray blatche makes even more sense now.

[Imtheman]

Bad timing. Hope he's ok.

We need him.
:facepalm

[Optimus Prime]

Blood clots can potentially be a serious health risk. Basketball reasons aside, hopefully Chris Bosh will have a safe and speedy recovery.

[InfiniteBaskets]

This is sad news. Crazy what can happen in just a single non-basketball playing day.

I'm hoping a speedy recovery for Bosh. From the reports I'm reading, it seems like his long-term prognosis is good, so his body should be basketball ready come next season or so.

That means Miami just needs to showcase what Dragic, Whiteside, and Wade can do for the rest of the season. I'm okay with reloading next season with a healthy McBob and Bosh if we can develop some chemistry this season with those three guys.

@JaredZwerling: Re: Bosh, I can confirm it's a blood clot in 1 lung. No specifics of status or timetable right now..

[Rekindled]

heat needs blatch now

[Theoo]

DAMIT BOSH!! i cant belive these.. it was one of hes best jumpball tip seasons of all time . he had one of the best jumpballtip start of all times .. damnit i really hope for playyoffs these year. i love u bosh

[HomieWeMajor]

I hope Chris pulls through this and has no long term health issues.

[jlip]

Blood clots can be serious and even fatal if not caught in time. My father was hospitalized last year for multiple blood clots in his lungs. Fortunately they are treatable, but the recovery from the treatment takes several months, irrespective of the person's fitness level. If I'm not mistaken, blood clots typically start in the leg(s) and then move up to the lungs. Bosh could be on blood thinners for quite some time if this is indeed the case. Obviously I'm not a doctor, so I do not know how this will impact his ability to continue to play professional basketball. I pray that he pulls through and recovers.

[chazzy]

He'll miss this year while on blood thinners, but this shouldn't affect him long term if there's no bigger underlying cause. Long flights and his height are definitely factors.

[aj1987]

****ing hell. Just when the season was about to get a bit interesting with Wade/Dragic/GOATside/Bosh... :facepalm

Hope he gets well soon. Scary shit.

[nathanjizzle]

sounds like cancer

What causes the blood cot exactly? Surgery? That shit is pretty scary man (reading up on the Kersey ordeal the other night).

[CP343]

Isn't this what just killed Jerome Kersey?

Yeah, one of my co-worker's wife had knee surgery and they found a blood clot shortly after.

[kkb_12]

What causes the blood cot exactly? Surgery? That shit is pretty scary man (reading up on the Kersey ordeal the other night).

EPO, blood transfusions (blood doping)

[Lebron23]

Get Well Soon Chris Bosh

[edrick]

Many different things can cause blood clots, unfortunately. IIRC around 250,000 people die a year from blood clots.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Morey dodged a bullet there. I'm so glad we didn't sign Bosh.

Rockets fans still the worst.

[K Xerxes]

What causes the blood cot exactly? Surgery? That shit is pretty scary man (reading up on the Kersey ordeal the other night).

Many different things can cause blood clots. Pulmonary blood clots are potentially life threatening though and need to be dealt with asap. What can happen is that a blood cloot in the leg (called deep vein thrombosis) can get dislodged and make its up the veins into the heart, and once it goes out of the heart, it can get stuck in one of the arteries that supply the lungs (called pulmonary embolism). Hard to know without any more details what exactly has happened, but it sounds quite serious.
