New York Knicks fans clinging to hope that Chris Bosh would not return in time for game 3 (after he flew to Miami to be with his expecting wife for the birth of their child) may be out of luck.

Bosh's wife delivered their baby Thursday morning, and he will travel back to New York just in time for Thursday night's tip-off, according to David Aldridge of TNT.
