Chris Bosh's passion for the game rekindled after lengthy absence

Chris Bosh returned to the AmericanAirlines Arena on Thursday for a nearly 30-minute press conference with local media to discuss his progress as he gets set to officially rejoin his teammates out on the court.

Just days before next Monday's scheduled Media Day at the arena and the start of training camp the following day at Florida Atlantic University, Bosh confirmed he's been medically cleared to play basketball, is off blood thinners, and has learned a lot from his time away from the sport.

"I'm happy to be back in the public eye and in a basketball capacity," Bosh said in his opening remarks.
