Amid the swirling excitement of the NBA trade deadline that brought Goran Dragic to the Miami Heat, multiple reports indicated that Chris Bosh didn’t participate in the team’s practice Thursday morning due to what was initially described as chest pains.
As the day continues, it was reported that Bosh was sent to a Miami hospital for tests. The Associated Press has more on Bosh’s condition.
"All-Star forward Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat underwent more tests in a South Florida hospital on Friday, amid concerns that blood clots have worked their way from his legs to his lungs to create a condition that could be season-ending or worse.Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said the team is still waiting for a full diagnosis and expected prognosis, insisting that it is too soon to draw any conclusions.But if the clot fears are confirmed, Bosh would almost certainly be facing a recovery period of at least several months."
As far as any other reports or tweets on his condition, Erik Spoelstra doesn’t want to get any rumors started.
Erik Spoelstra clearly bothered by "wild rumors" about Chris Bosh's health. Seems puzzled that media has a diagnosis when the doctors don't.

Wish I could be there by your side this very moment to tell a joke or something homie. Just to get your mind off what you're going through!
