Chris Bosh was back on the field Saturday for the first time since 2016.
The Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat legend attended his former teammate Goran Dragić’s farewell game in Slovenia along with several other NBA stars.
Bosh’s career was cut short due to a blood clotting issue in 2016. Finally back in action in front of a crowd, fans were thrilled to see Bosh play again.

While he didn’t spend as much time in the league as he would have hoped, Bosh still had a stellar 13-year NBA career. He averaged 19.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and one block per game, spending the first half of his career with the Raptors before joining Dwyane Wade and LeBron James on the Heat in 2010.
Bosh was an 11-time NBA All-Star and, of course, won two NBA championships in Miami. He was also a member of the 2008 U.S. “Redeem Team,” which won gold at the Beijing Olympics after winning bronze in 2004.
In addition to being inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame, Bosh’s No. 1 jersey was retired by the Heat in 2021.
Bosh had a memorable NBA career that came to an unfortunate end, but on Saturday he got to relive his playing days alongside his former teammate.
