The Heat organization has "growing optimism" that Bosh (blood clots) will be cleared to resume his playing career while playing on blood thinners, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bosh was denied the opportunity to play on blood thinners in the postseason this past spring following a recurrence of blood clots in his left calf, but the organization appears to have since come around on the idea. If Bosh does indeed end up receiving clearance to start playing again, he could see his workload restricted, particularly during back-to-back sets. Bosh's history of blood clots and the possibility of a minutes or games limit hinders his fantasy appeal, but his on-court performance shouldn't suffer in the contests he does play. The 32-year-old is in line to start at power forward in 2016-17 if health prevails and could be asked to take on a greater role in the Heat's offensive attack now that Dwyane Wade is out of town.
