The Miami Heat signed Mario Chalmers to a 10-day contract on Thursday, and now Chris Bosh wants to get the band back together.

Chalmers hasn't played in the NBA since the 2017-18 season, while Bosh announced his retirement in February 2019. Bosh missed the entire 2016-17 season due to blood clots and never returned to the league.

During his six seasons with the Heat, Bosh averaged 18.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists. Chalmers, meanwhile, averaged 8.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists in eight seasons in Miami.
