The NBA has CANCELED the first two weeks of its 2011-12 season after failing to reach a new labor agreement with its players.
“We remain very, very apart on all issues,” David Stern said after league representatives met with Players Association officials for about seven hours on Monday in a last-ditch attempt to save the Nov. 1 scheduled start of the season.
Stern said the cancellations guarantee the league will have a shortened season for the first time since the 1998-99 season when another owner-imposed lockout limited NBA teams to playing just 50 games. The cancellations include all games scheduled through Nov. 14.
