It seemed like the Miami Heat (and most playoff-bound teams) were resting their guys in preparation for the playoffs. But Chris Bosh is actually hurt.
It turns out there was a real injury there all along, even as the Miami Heat downplayed the reasons why Bosh had missed four games heading into Tuesday’s matchup against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. Bosh made it five consecutive absences Tuesday, but this time with a bit more transparency, acknowledging a strained right hamstring sustained April 16 against the New Jersey Nets. ‘It’s just precautionary right now,’ Bosh said of this extended absence, ‘just making sure it doesn’t turn into a serious problem. So you’re gonna have to make sure that we get the right treatment. It’s just been a crazy season, so it’s kind of combination of maintenance and precautionary measures.’
