Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
NEW YORK, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- NBA Commissioner David Stern told players Tuesday the league is canceling all games through Dec. 15, multiple reports indicated.
The lack of progress in collective bargaining talks with locked-out players had already resulted in all of November's games being canceled.
Citing an unnamed league source, the Los Angeles Times reported Stern told players he is extending the cancellations to mid-December after the National Basketball Players Association rejected the league's latest offer Monday.
Players fully expected the move, the New York Daily News reported. NBPA officials are moving file for decertification so they can lodge an antitrust lawsuit to force an end to the lockout.
The league's traditional Christmas Day games will be the next to go unless the two sides meet within the next 10 days and strike a deal, the newspaper said.
