Miami Heat All-Star Chris Bosh has been admitted to a Miami-area hospital to undergo tests on his lungs, according to a team spokesman via reports. Bosh had previously dealt with abdominal discomfort during All-Star Weekend but continued with his planned vacation after the festivities and events in New York.

Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald has more details:

Bosh was “under the weather” on Wednesday when he reported to practice, according to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, and team trainers sent Bosh to see a doctor. He did not attend practice Thursday and was instead admitted to the hospital

Initial tests on Bosh, 30, were inconclusive, according to a team spokesman. An independent source confirmed for the Miami Herald that the initial tests were on Bosh’s lungs. [...]

While in New York over the weekend for the All-Star Game, Bosh complained of pain in his side near his rib cage. He then traveled to Haiti during Carnival with his wife, Adrienne, and Dwyane Wade and Wade’s wife, actress Gabrielle Union.

Asked on Thursday after practice whether Bosh was sick in Haiti, Wade said, “I don’t know if he was sick. I’m not a doctor. I just know he wasn’t feeling good. He wasn’t coughing or throwing up, but he just wasn’t feeling good. So I don’t know when it happened. It could have happened in New York.”

A diagnosis of Bosh's condition has not yet been revealed, if one exists at all. He won Saturday night's Shooting Stars event for the third year in a row played 11 minutes in Sunday's All-Star Game without appearing in excessive pain, although it's unclear if he simply toughed it out or saw his condition worsen in the days since.

The Heat face the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Friday. It is not yet known if Bosh will be able to participate, but the team figures to introduce new point guard Goran Dragic into the lineup.
