Bobcats forward Boris Diaw sprained an ankle while playing for the French national team this weekend.

Diaw plans to have an MRI as a precaution, but coach Larry Brown told the Charlotte Observer that the sprain isn't believed to be severe.

The Bobcats will open training camp a week from Tuesday and Brown added that he already planned to limit Diaw's minutes in the preseason because of all the basketball he played over the summer.
