MIAMI — Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat has resumed taking blood thinners to treat a blood clot in his leg, said a person with knowledge of the situation.
Bosh began the new medication regimen with hopes that he can resume playing this season, the person told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither the team nor Bosh has revealed anything publicly.
Typically athletes in contact sports are discouraged from playing while taking blood-thinning medication. It's unclear when Bosh started taking the medication.
"I hate it for him," said NASCAR driver Brian Vickers, who like Bosh is an endorser of the blood-thinning medication Xarelto.
