The Bobcats will not play Sean May until he weighs 260 pounds, which means he needs to drop roughly ten pounds in order to make his return.

"MJ and Larry expressed to me that this is for my own good – for my longevity," May said before Friday night's game against the 76ers.

"Coach Brown is really old-school and really cut-and-dry. This is tough love-type stuff. Now I understand it, and I just want to play."

May admitted that he was 285 at the start of training camp.

"I haven't been 260 since I left (North) Carolina. But if that's what they want, that's what they want. Coach Brown has been upset with me because I've plateaued for a while at 270."
