Former NBA star Chris Bosh revealed during an interview with Sam Yip of HoopsHype that he nearly died in January due to a pulmonary embolism.
“Yeah, I had an episode in January,” Bosh said.
“I almost dropped dead pretty much and came back to life. I’m not joking. Yeah. I had another pulmonary embolism. It was in January. Yeah, yeah, this past year. I was in the hospital for a week,” the 11-time NBA All-Star said.
“But, take your medicine. So, I’m taking my medicine every day, taking care of myself every day, and watching it. So, I mean, no symptoms came either, you know, so,” he added.
