Miami Heat forward Chris Bosch said that he’s ready to play and rejoin the team via a podcast that was released on Wednesday, Sept. 14.
Bosh appeared on Uninterrupted’s Open Run podcast to say that he’s ready to play again. He announced that he’s directing and producing a documentary series that will show his recovery from blood clots, which he was diagnosed with in February.
"Absolutely (ready for training camp)," Bosh said in the podcast. "We've been talking about it for a long time. We released a statement in May that as soon as I'm ready to play, as soon as possible, I'll play. I'm ready. I've done all my work working with the doctors. I'm in incredible shape."
He went on to say that it’s his contractual and professional obligation to be there and that he will play basketball in the NBA.
The 32-year-old has not been medically cleared by the Heat but he has been working out in Los Angeles, ESPN noted. The Heat haven’t commented on Bosh’s playing status since May, however, team owner Micky Arison retweeted a video of Bosh working out on Aug. 31.
