May will have experts check knee
While his Bobcats teammates opened training camp, Sean May toured the country's top orthopedists.May has been limited to 58 of a possible 164 regular-season games in his two NBA seasons. That's because of cartilage problems in his right knee. May was in New York on Tuesday, consulting with a specialist, and will travel to Birmingham, Ala., today for an appointment with renowned orthopedic surgeon James Andrews.

From there, May will either fly to Charlotte, to consult with Dr. Glenn Perry, the team physician, or join the Bobcats in Wilmington for the rest of camp. Coach Sam Vincent isn't sure when May will be cleared to practice.

"My optimistic side says yes," Vincent said of May getting some work in camp. "My realistic side says, I don't know."

Vincent said May has suffered no setback to his recovery from a severe knee bruise that sidelined him last season. However, the Bobcats plan to treat May's knee conservatively in the preseason.
