Erik Spoelstra: No change in status of Heat’s Chris Bosh
Following Thursday night’s elimination of the Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was asked about the missing member of his Big Three, forward Chris Bosh, who has been sidelined with an abdominal injury suffered in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Erik Spoelstra says Chris Bosh is still out "indefinitely.''—

On Wednesday, Tom Haberstroh of ESPN.com had reported that Bosh still believes he can play this postseason. But Haberstroh tweeted on Thursday that he thinks Bosh is at least a week away from returning to action.
For those asking, I caught up w/ Chris Bosh yesterday and I'd be stunned if he played in Gm 1 Monday. Hasn't even stepped on the court yet.—

Ethan J. Skolnick of the Palm Beach Post agrees.
Bosh hasn't been available to the general media riffraff in a while, but nothing I've heard makes me think he's back for Games 1 or 2.—
