MIAMI - The Miami Heat say All-Star forward Chris Bosh continues to improve and will leave a South Florida hospital soon.

Bosh has been hospitalized since last week because blood clots were found on a lung. He will not return to play this season.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Monday that Bosh will be released soon, though he has not been told an exact date.

Miami is hosting the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.
