MIAMI — Chris Bosh has more than likely played his final game for Miami, with the All-Star forward’s latest health setback apparently convincing the team that a return from multiple bouts of blood clots is no longer feasible. Bosh failed a physical last week, keeping him from getting clearance to return to the court. Of the starters from Miami’s last game — Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series in Toronto — only Goran Dragic and Justise Winslow remain, with Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng and Joe Johnson all signing elsewhere this summer. His money is guaranteed, though the Heat can get salary-cap relief next February from the bulk of that money if Bosh doesn’t return to the court. And, with Bosh out, two-thirds of the Heat starting lineups from a year ago are no longer with Miami.
