Chris Bosh says he's blood clot free, hopes to return this season :blessed:

MIAMI -- Chris Bosh says he no longer is dealing with any active blood clots, and remains hopeful that he can return to the Miami Heat at some point this season.

"I know there have been many questions regarding my health and when I will play again," Bosh said in a statement released Thursday. "My situation this year has never been life threatening. I am feeling great and currently I do not have deep vein thrombosis."

The 11-time All-Star said he's working with doctor on "precautionary treatment options," but did not offer a potential timetable for his return to the court.

"[I have been] taking every necessary step to make sure I am healthy for myself, my family and my team. I have been working out, training with the team, watching film of the games, walking through plays, and have attended home games despite not being visible to the public. I will continue to support my teammates in every way possible. I remain positive that I will be able to return this season. I truly appreciate everyone's concern and support."

Bosh, 31, was ruled out of the All-Star Game with what was described as a calf strain. Multiple league sources have confirmed Bosh's condition is more serious than the strain, but team officials have declined to provide specific details.

This is the second time in as many years that Bosh's season has been interrupted by a health scare. Last season, Bosh missed Miami's final 30 games to treat a blood clot that had traveled to his lungs.

Bosh's statement does not mention bloodthinners, so it remains unclear if he is still taking them.

Obviously I don't expect him to play this/next week... But wait until late March to see if anything comes back. If not, i'm all for his return.
