Chris Bosh believes he could return to the NBA as a player

Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh thinks he will play again in the NBA.

Bosh is out since last season following blood clotting episodes.

Per Florida Sun Sentinel, Sidelined Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh said on a televised webcast Sunday that he believes he could return to the NBA as a player, but also said he respects the Miami Heat’s anticipated attempt to remove his salary from the team’s salary cap. Appearing on “Larry King Now” on the Ora.tv digital network, Bosh, when asked by the long-time broadcast personality whether he believes he ever will return to the NBA said, “Yeah, I think so.”

"At heart," Bosh said, "I'm still an athlete. That is not how I want it to end."

Bosh expressed mixed emotions about whether he misses playing.

"I do," he said, "but a part of me doesn't. Yeah. I've come to enjoy different aspects of life. There's a lot of life out there.
