Heat's Bosh remains out vs. Wizards

Miami Heat power forward Chris Bosh will not play in Saturday night's contest against the Washington Wizards.

The team didn't announce why Bosh is sitting, but the 31-year-old is reportedly taking blood thinners to treat a blood clot in his leg.

Bosh was forced to pull out of Sunday's All-Star Game after being named a reserve, claiming his absence was due to a calf strain.

The Georgia Tech product is averaging 19.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists, and shooting 36.5 percent from deep.

Friday will mark the second straight game Bosh has missed, after sitting out Thursday night's victory over the Atlanta Hawks.
