Miami Heat's Bosh out for rest of NBA playoffs

Miami (AFP) - Veteran big man Chris Bosh, reportedly in a standoff with the Miami Heat over his health, won't return for the Heat in this NBA post-season, the player and team said on Wednesday.

"The Miami Heat and Chris Bosh announce that Chris will not be playing in the remainder of the 2016 NBA Playoffs," a joint statement from player and club said.

"The Heat, Chris, the doctors and medical team have been working together throughout this process and will continue to do so to return Chris to playing basketball as soon as possible."

Bosh hasn't played since February 9 due to a blood clots in his calf.
