Will Bosh be allowed to play and take blood thinners?: With the Heat’s Chris Bosh, conversations are continuing regarding potential use of blood thinners that could be out of his system by game time. It remains undecided if the Heat will be OK with that approach (they weren't when he suggested that last spring) or whether they will clear him to play. There are mixed opinions in the medical community about whether a player who has had two clotting episodes in the span of a year (but doesn't have the gene that makes him pre-disposed to clotting) should remain on blood thinners beyond the normal six-month cycle.
