With less than two months to go before the NBA season tips off, the Miami Heat received some good news regarding All-Star big man Chris Bosh.

Bosh, an unsung hero on the Heat's title teams in 2012 and 2013, has struggled to stay on the court the last two seasons due to threatening blood clots.

He clashed with management during the playoffs last year, arguing that he was capable of playing. The Heat took the risk-averse approach, holding Bosh out.

There have been a lot of questions and some uncertainty regarding Bosh's status this summer. Finally, a new report provides optimism to South Beach.

From the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson:

Discussions remain focused on the Heat's comfort level with Bosh taking new thinners that would be out of his system within eight hours or so, and ways for him to play while taking those type of thinners, according to an NBA-employed source.

The Heat is working on potential solutions and has said it would like to try to get him back on the court. Bosh very much wants to play and intends to (according to his wife). He still needs to be cleared by the Heat, and there will be some level of uncertainty until that happens. But the Heat is working on a solution, which has led to some optimism.

Getting Bosh back on the court would be a huge pick-me-up for a franchise reeling from the loss of the face of their franchise, Dwyane Wade. Bosh would bring stability and leadership to the organization as it heads into a new era.
