Chris Bosh wants to play.
But, as an organization if something fatal happened to him on the court, how would you ever be able to live with yourself?
Bosh has a wife, kids and family. Maybe another team will be willing to take the risk, but the HEAT seem like they aren’t willing.
Between now and this fall, Bosh and the Heat are going to have to reach a decision about what to do about his future. And there may end up being a complex and gut-wrenching disconnect between heart and mind.
There is a fear within the Heat organization that Bosh’s condition will prevent him from ever being cleared to play by team doctors, several sources said. It’s a result of exhaustive consultations with specialists. Something this big and delicate, the sides have gone deep attempting to understand all the options.
It’s forced everyone to confront the possibility of Bosh ultimately being forced into a medical retirement.
Your life isn’t worth losing over basketball. Unless the doctors can be really sure these issues won’t continue pop up for Bosh throughout the rest of his career, he might need to indeed call it a career.
