<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) -- Charlotte Bobcats forward Sean May will miss the season after deciding to undergo microfracture surgery on his troublesome right knee.</p> May, who saw two knee specialists this week, will have the surgery Tuesday in New York. Recovery time will take six to 12 months.</p> "Obviously this is a terrible blow for our basketball team and another setback for Sean," Bobcats coach Sam Vincent said Friday. "We want what's best for him, and unfortunately that requires surgery."</p> May, the 13th pick in the 2005 draft, has played in only 58 of 164 games over the past two seasons. He had surgery to remove cartilage during his rookie season, then developed a bone bruise last year.</p> He had been undergoing an extensive offseason program, but was still troubled by knee pain. May missed the start of training camp to see knee specialists in New York and Alabama.</p> The surgery will be performed by Dr. David Altchek in New York. May will be on crutches for six to eight weeks before beginning his rehabilitation.</p> "We are hopeful that his procedure will allow him to resume his career and be the player he wants to be," Bobcats team physician Glenn Perry said.</p> The procedure includes creating tiny fractures in adjacent bones around the knee to try to create knee cartilage. The surgery was once considered risky, but several football and basketball players have made successful recoveries in recent years.</div></p> Source: Yahoo Sports</p>
He's done. He's one of those guys that will never be able to put together a healthy season, partly because he never has been and never will be in respectable shape.</p>
ouch, sucks for him. He put up alright numbers when he was healthy...but that wasn't all too often. Best of luck to him.</p>
can this dude ever stay healthy...he obviously has talent and shows it on the court, but thats the thing, you have to be on the court.</p>
Yeah, hes done.</p> Amare took a year to come back and he is a physical marvel, Sean May? not so much.</p>
Wow sucks to be him or the Bobcats.I hope he could come back and play great for them next season though.</p>
At least the Bobcats didn't compound their problems by wasting a draft pick on Adam Morrison</p> </p> Oh wait, never mind</p>
Sucks for him and the team.</p> Hopefully he comes back next season and theres still enough talent that he'll be able to help the team.</p>
Ouch.</p> </p> I'll probably always remember him most for his amazing NCAA tournament when UNC won the title, but I hope he can turn his NBA career around.</p>
That's rather unfortunate. I was never a fan of this selection, but May, when healthy, was a decent player.</p>
