Nba cancelations
The NBA has postponed training camps indefinitely and has canceled 43 preseason games, the Associated Press is reporting.
The league announced Friday that all games from Oct. 9-15 are off and further decisions will be made as warranted. That would affect two Bulls homes games: against Charlotte on Oct. 10 and Minnesota on Oct. 14; and one away game on Oct. 13 against Indiana.
Camps were expected to open Oct. 3.
The cancellations were expected after the latest meeting between owners and players Thursday ended without a collective bargaining agreement. Both sides still hope the entire regular season, scheduled to begin Nov. 1, can be saved.
"We have regretfully reached the point on the calendar where we are not able to open training camps on time and need to cancel the first week of preseason games," deputy commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. "We will make further decisions as warranted."
Commissioner David Stern and union leaders met Thursday in New York. They remain divided on how to resolve a situation that the league says leaves 23 of 30 teams losing money.
