Unfortunately that is not the case. But that doesnt stop me from wanting to share my creative side with you guys and hoping that you want to come along on the journey with me.?The Heat said earlier Friday that Bosh would not be allowed to participate in their preseason training camp after failing a physical.

So I will just continue to share despite whats going on.?Team president Pat Riley and managing general partner Micky Arison have both said in recent weeks that they would be open to having Bosh in camp, and the 11-time All-Star forward was examined by multiple doctors in recent days in an attempt to be clearedd.dddddddddddd?The team will host media day in Miami on Monday and will start training camp in the Bahamas on Tuesday.
