Miami Heat to retire Chris Bosh’s jersey on March 26

The Miami Heat announced Monday that they will be retiring Chris Bosh’s jersey on March 26 during halftime of the team’s game against the Orlando Magic.

Per the team’s release Bosh will become the fourth Heat player to have his jersey retired, joining Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway and Shaquille O’Neal.

“I am proud that Chris will have his No. 1 jersey retired and be honored inside the AmericanAirlines Arena with this recognition for the greatness as a player on the court and his tremendous contributions to the Miami community off the court,” said HEAT President Pat Riley. “His name and jersey will hang forever and always.”

During his 13-year NBA career, Bosh earned 11 All-Star appearances, won two NBA championships and averaged 19.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1 block per game. He also won a gold medal with the United State’s Men’s Basketball Team.

Bosh’s career was cut short by pulmonary embolism, a blood clot issue. He has tried to return to the game multiple times but was unable to do so.
