[February 21, 2015]  Feb 20 (The Sports Xchange) - Miami Heat star forward Chris Bosh's season could be in doubt as doctors were concerned he may have developed blood clots in his lungs, according to the Miami Herald.

Bosh was admitted to a Miami hospital on Thursday after complaining for several days about discomfort in his chest.

He underwent initial tests that proved inconclusive, according to the Heat. The fear is that Bosh could have blood clots in his lungs, the newspaper reported Friday.

If there are clots, Bosh would miss the remainder of the season while being treated with blood thinners for pulmonary embolism. Treatment of such a condition typically requires at least six months of limited physical activity.

Bosh, a 10-time All-Star who won two NBA titles with the Heat, was averaging 21.1 points and 7.0 rebounds this season. Last July, he signed a five-year contract that guaranteed him $118 million.

The Sacramento Kings signed guard David Stockton to a 10-day contract.

The 5-foot-11, 165-pound Stockton is averaging 16.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 2.4 steals and 27.5 minutes in 31 games for the Reno Bighorns, Sacramento's NBA Development League affiliate.

Stockton went undrafted in 2014 out of Gonzaga University. He is the son of Hall of Fame guard John Stockton.

The Philadelphia 76ers are keeping guard Tim Frazier around at least a little while longer, signing him to a second 10-day contract.

Frazier joined the Sixers on Feb. 5 and has started two games and played in three. He is averaging 5.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 9.0 assists.

His 26 assists in the first three games of his NBA career are the seventh-best total dating to the 1985-86 season. (Editing by Andrew Both)
