Bosh indicated on an Open Run podcast that he's ready to play, Rachel Nichols of ESPN.com reports. Bosh stated, "Absolutely, I mean, I'm ready to play. We've been talking for it for a long time - we released a statement back in May, saying as soon as I'm ready to play, as soon as possible, we'll play. And I'm ready. I've done all my work, I've done what I need to do, working with the doctors. I'm in incredible shape - at least decent enough."

EDGE Analysis

With teammate Udonis Haslem recently releasing a statement saying he expects Bosh to be an active participant in training camp, this latest quote from Bosh only furthers the growing optimism that he'll be available to play during the upcoming season. Bosh is currently taking blood thinners after experiencing multiple issues with blood cots in the past year and despite original indications that the Heat organization may not be on board with him playing, they now appear to be willing to entertain the idea. If Bosh does indeed play, he'll be a high risk, high reward player, as his clotting issues could reappear during the season.
