Sean May closer to being ready for camp Sean May has been cleared to start on-court basketball activity and says he'll be ready when Charlotte Bobcats training camp begins in October. In his first extended comments this summer, following micro-fracture surgery on his right knee in October, May said he's experiencing some pain but no swelling in the joint that has troubled him since before he was drafted by the Bobcats in 2005. 我相信如果他不瘦下來，膝蓋腫漲一定會持續找上門。 “I'm full-go now,” May said Wednesday after working out with North Carolina strength and conditioning coach Jonas Sahratian. “But again, after eight months, I'm not going to just jump out here, get it all back in one day.” May has been attending summer school classes while continuing to rehabilitate his knee. To avoid pounding the joint, he worked out in a swimming pool, exercised on a stationary bike and ran on a trampoline. He's also done a lot of stationary shooting. He plans to fly to Las Vegas next week to attend Bobcats practices leading up to summer-league games. Although May won't play games in Las Vegas, he hopes to participate in some drills, as the team becomes acclimated to coach Larry Brown. Although he has been cleared medically for basketball activity, May said he probably won't run or participate in any pick-up games right away. “I'll start playing some toward the end of this month, then I'll do a lot in August, and we'll do a lot more in September, when we report back” to Charlotte, he said. After being away from the game so long – he missed all last season and has been limited to 58 of a possible 246 games with the Bobcats – May is taking a cautious approach. “I've already been through this once, where I jumped out there too early and had a major setback,” he said. “So (in) hindsight now I'm just like, ‘Hey, I've got to take things slow.' “I don't win any games in July or August; I win them in November, December. So that's the only thing that matters; being ready by the time that time comes along.” May elected to have micro-fracture surgery last fall after consulting with three specialists concerning his chronic bone bruise. In micro-fracture surgery, tiny holes are drilled in a joint to create scar tissue that acts like cartilage. Cartilage is the body's natural shock-absorber. May was missed, particularly since the Bobcats have been a poor rebounding team throughout their four seasons in the NBA. With Emeka Okafor playing mostly center last season, outgoing coach Sam Vincent said he had no experienced, healthy power forward on the roster. “I have no reservations, I'm not worried about anything,” May said. “I think I'll be fine come camp and hopefully this micro-fracture thing is behind me. They said the micro-fracture is healed; the thing that's still causing me pain is the bone bruise, and it's just going to take time to heal. “Those things take anywhere from six months to a year to heal.” -- This Is For The Cats：http://blog.pixnet.net/HardER --
