His withdrawal leaves the Americans with 15 players. </p> Bosh was hobbled in the pre-season last year by plantar fasciitis, a painful foot ailment caused by the inflammation of the plantar fascia tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. The problem is common among the NBA's big men, and can prove costly if it doesn't clear up.</div></p> LINK</p></span>
This is probably the best thing that could happen, his nagging left foot pretty much held Bosh back last season after playing for Team USA and wasnt 100% while on the Raptors. However withdrawling himself from camp and the tournament this summer Chris Bosh should be ready for this up coming season which I am excited to begin.
<span>Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo said the injury will not affect Bosh's status in Toronto's upcoming training camp.</span></p> Well, I guess that's a plus.</p> </p>
good. IMO he didn't fit in there, anyways (not that it really matters).</p> i thought battier and hinrich should've stayed, though, their perimeter defense is needed more.</p>

Bosh gets to sit out and rest his foot for the regular season.</p> He will probably be almost 100% by the time the season rolls around.</p>
