"I've been in the gym. I can still play basketball," Bosh said on ESPN's
"First Take" on Thursday. "No, I'm not done yet."
Bosh, an 11-time NBA All-Star, was found to have a blood clot in his lungs in
February 2015, bringing his season to an end. He returned in 2016 and was
voted to the All-Star Game before a blood clot was found in his leg in
February, and Bosh has not played since.
Bosh failed a physical before the 2016-17 season. With Bosh disputing his
status, the NBA conducted a review, allowed the team to place him on waivers
and to clear the remaining $52 million on the contract from the Heat's salary
cap.
Bosh, 33, spent seven seasons with the Toronto Raptors before joining forces
with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on the Miami Heat. He has career averages of
19.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
The deadline for free-agent signings in the NBA is March 1. Players added
after that date are ineligible for the postseason.
"Man, I see all these guys shooting threes and not playing defense. Man, I
mean, I got to get some of it," Bosh joked.
When asked about his preferred destinations, Bosh listed the Raptors, Houston
Rockets and Golden State Warriors.
