The Miami Heat is now officially free to go about spending all of its projected salary cap space after Chris Bosh cleared waivers shortly after 5 p.m. on Thursday.
The 11-time All-Star was released by the Heat Tuesday, a mere formality after independent league doctors concluded months ago he was medically unfit to play after a long bout with blood clots which began after the All-Star break in 2015.
Bosh, 33, hasn’t played since February 2016, but is now free to sign with another team and the Heat will not be on the hook salary-cap wise for any of the remaining $52.
