Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh pulled out of the All-Star game with a calf strain, but that has since turned into a more serious issue. Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports that Bosh is dealing with another blood clot scare and will spend the next few days reviewing his options while he awaits more tests and evaluation.
Bosh missed a large portion of last season with blood clot issue that was discovered while he was dealing with a calf strain.
He met with team doctors on Monday to determine possible courses of action and has reportedly resumed taking blood thinners, putting the rest of his season in jeopardy.

Bosh won't play while he is taking blood thinners, and if this issue continues, it could end his career.
"The biggest thing is his health," Heat teammate Dwyane Wade said Saturday. "All in all, as I said last year, it's bigger than basketball. It's about his family and he has to make sure he does everything right. I want to make sure that he's doing whatever he needs to do to be healthy and get back on the basketball court whenever he's ready."
Bosh is Miami's leading scorer this season, averaging 19.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game so far this season. He will not travel with the team to Atlanta for Friday's game against the Hawks.
