Chris Bosh active, won't start and will play sparingly

The Heat announced their lineup about 45 minutes before tip-off. Bosh will not start.

Bosh has not played since straining a lower abdominal muscle on May 13.

Earlier in the day, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said that if Bosh, who was originally a game-time decision, were to play, he would play limited minutes.

"It'll be a small role, that's all he'll have to be for us right now," Spoelstra said. "He doesn't have to be Chris Bosh he was several weeks ago, we can build up to that."
