Teammates said Bosh's speech in a pre-practice meeting was emotional. Dwyane Wade says that Bosh "doesn't have the ability to be in it," referring to the playoffs.
Wade says Bosh's biggest message was that "this is the season that really counts, and don't take this for granted."
The Heat have not made any comments on Bosh's status going forward.
