Bosh to miss rest of season, Heat announce:

MIAMI — Chris Bosh’s season is now officially over, regardless of how far the Miami Heat advance in the postseason. The Heat and Bosh made the announcement Wednesday afternoon after the team practiced in Toronto, ending the recent speculation that Bosh would try to return to the court during the playoffs. Bosh has not played since the All-Star break after a blood clot was discovered in his left leg. It’s the second consecutive year that Bosh’s season ended at the break because of problems with clotting, and the joint statement came one day after the National Basketball Players Association urged Bosh and the team to resolve any issues they have about his immediate future. Bosh is expected to remain with the team throughout the remainder of the playoffs — helping his teammates however he can.

DALLAS — Johnny Manziel has been booked and posted bond in a domestic violence case, one day before the former Cleveland Browns quarterback faces his first court hearing.

Manziel faces a Class A misdemeanor that carries up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. He is expected to appear briefly before a Dallas judge this morning.
