Chris Bosh has not been medically cleared by the Miami HEAT yet, but it looks like he has every intention to play NBA basketball during this upcoming season. The day he will actually play is up in the air, but his latest series of Snapchat videos make it clear that he wants to play.
On the surface these social media posts look like a message to fans that have been questioning his status, but this also sends a message to the HEAT organization on how serious he is about playing again. If Bosh expects to play this year, a compromise will need to be reached between his camp and the Miami HEAT on what course of action protects Bosh from another blood clot.
So far the HEAT have been very quiet on their intentions for Bosh, with only Micky Arison vaguely mentioning Bosh in a letter to season ticket holders. Whether it’s Jason Pierre Paul or Derek Fisher, social media workout posts are designed to demonstrate health and the ability to perform at a high level. Videos like these give hopeful fans something to latch on to, but until the Miami HEAT officially clear Bosh for full basketball activities, these posts are nothing more than vaporware.
