Chris Bosh Not Cleared to Play as Heat Will Enter Season With 125-1 Championship Odds

Upon failing his pre-season physical due to continued blood clotting in his leg, Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh has not been cleared for training camp. 

"The Miami Heat and Chris Bosh, in consultation with team doctors and other physicians, have been working together for many months with the mutual goal of having Chris return to the court as soon as possible," the team's statement said. "Chris has now taken his pre-season physical. The Miami Heat regret that it remains unable to clear Chris to return to basketball activities." 

Bosh’s doctors had told him earlier this year that his basketball career was “probably over”.   

The Heat will enter the 2016-2017 season with long 125-1 odds of winning a championship and were expected to win 36.5 regular season games.  Compare that to the reigning NBA Champions Cleveland Cavs who are expected to win 56.5.  – Tyrone Black, Gambling911.com
