While Sean May believes he's in good enough shape to play, Bobcats' coach Larry Brown thinks otherwise and will sit his young forward until his condition improves, the Associated Press is reporting.

"It is stressful," May said before the game. "I want to prove to this organization that I can help this team for the future. You can't do that in a suit. It's been tough because the prior three years I've been in suits. Now that I'm able to play, Coach just doesn't feel like I can give him much right now. It stinks all in itself."

"He's making progress, but I'm not going to play him," Brown said. "I told him last week that until I see he's able to run up and down the court and be fit enough to play without having him struggle. I haven't seen that."
