Chris Bosh Ruled Out for 2016 Playoffs Due to Blood Clot

For the second year in a row, a blood clot has prematurely ended Chris Bosh's season. On Friday, the Associated Press' Tim Reynolds reported the Miami Heat star will miss the 2016 playoffs because of the issue.

"Chris talked today to us, as a team," Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade said after practice Friday, per Reynolds. "The biggest message is someone who lived for this moment, someone who envisioned these moments especially after last year, he doesn't have the ability to be in it."

In February 2015, Bosh returned home from a vacation in Haiti over All-Star Weekend and was admitted to a Miami-area hospital.
