Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports is reporting that their sources confirmed the NBA Owners and the Players have resumed negotiations yesterday and have continued today in an effort to save the season, in particular in time for the Christmas Day games which are a big revenue generator for the league. Word has it that Billy Hunter and Derrick Fisher are both involved but Hunter only for legal purposes, and Fisher as a player rep., since the Union has been disbanded.
Representatives for NBA owners and players have started settlement talks in a last-ditch effort to prevent the cancellation of the league’s Christmas games, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The negotiations started Tuesday and were expected to continue Wednesday, sources said.
“We should know more by later [Wednesday] evening,” one league source said.
Negotiations between the two sides broke off on Nov. 14 after the union decided to disband. Players Association president Derek Fisher(notes) is involved in the current talks, a source said.
