NBA players and owners met for more than 15 hours yesterday, as talks centered on the system issues. The result was significant progress on one of the labor fight’s most distressing obstacles: the luxury tax teams would have to pay for going over the cap. Does this mean the league is any closer to a deal?

For only the second time in its history, labor strife is cutting into the NBA regular season.

If NBA owners and players don’t come to an agreement by Monday to put an end to the current lockout, the first two weeks of the regular season will be canceled. Complicating matters is the fact that talks won’t take place on Friday or Saturday in observance of the Jewish Holiday of Yom Kippur.

The NBA announced today that the entire 114-game preseason schedule has been canceled because a new collective bargaining agreement has not been reached with the National Basketball Players Association. If no deal is done by Monday, the first two weeks of the regular season will be canceled.

Still in the midst of a lockout, the NBA canceled all preseason games from October 9th to the 15th.

With a new CBA agreement nowhere in sight, this probably won't be the first NBA announcement of canceled games.

With the lockout continuing, NBA players have been forced to look elsewhere to fulfill their basketball jones. In the case of Dwight Howard, this journey took him to Japan, where the Orlando Magic center recently dunked on an 11-foot hoop which had been attached to the neck of a 12-foot stuffed giraffe, during an exhibition at a Tokyo mall. Yes, it all sounds a bit strange, but the crowd gets real
