The players and owners met last night in New York for roughly 5 hours, and there wasn’t much progress…as usual. Now, it they don’t get anything done today, the first two weeks of the regular season are gone.
NBA players and owners still have no deal headed into the deadline day for starting the season on time.
Negotiators for the sides agreed to meet Sunday and then huddled for more than five hours before breaking for the night. They agreed to resume talks Monday afternoon, but union president Derek Fisher of the Los Angeles Lakers acknowledged that the sides are “not necessarily closer” to a deal than they were when talks stalled last week.
Neither side offered many details when they emerged late Sunday night, though union officials confirmed that they have postponed a planned Monday meeting with membership in Los Angeles so they can remain in New York to talk with league officials again.
