Chris Bosh is in Toronto, but he’s not yet back in a Heat uniform. There seems to be some disagreement as to why that is.
Bosh flew to Canada on the same plane as Heat owner Micky Arison ahead of the team’s second-round opener against the Raptors, according to the Sun-Sentinel. Bosh, who is out indefinitely after experiencing issues with blood clots, reportedly did the same in the team's first round series vs. the Hornets.
Speculation has surrounded why Bosh and his team are at odds over his return to the court.

In recent days, the Heat have reiterated their stance that Bosh is not yet ready to play. But the 13-time All-Star recently posted a Snapchat video of him shooting 3-pointers in the gym and his wife, Adrienne, started the hashtag #BringBoshBack.

"Our top priority is Chris' health and wellbeing," the NBPA said in a statement Tuesday. "We have spoken to Chris and his agent, and have reached out to the Miami Heat. We are hopeful that all parties involved can meet as soon as possible to resolve the situation."
Bosh missed the second half of the 2014-15 season with blood clots.
