Finally, Farewell: Chris Bosh, Miami Heat Formally Part Ways
MIAMI (105.3 The Fan) - Chris Bosh's time with the Miami Heat is officially over.
Weeks after the sides came to a final agreement on how to part ways and more than a year since his last NBA appearance because of blood-clot issues, Bosh was waived by the Heat on Tuesday.
The move was a formality.
It gives Miami access to $25.3 million in salary-cap space for this coming season, which the Heat will use to sign free agents starting Thursday. Bosh still gets that salary, plus $26.8 million for next season, and in theory could continue his career -- if another team declares him fit to play.
It's unknown if that will happen.
But at least there's finally closure on his Miami era, and the Heat announced his No. 1 jersey has been retired.
