NEW YORK, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Negotiators for NBA owners and players returned to the bargaining table Friday to make another attempt at saving at least part of the 2011-12 season.
Despite the dissolution of the players union and a limited time in which to salvage a possible 66-game season, attorneys for both sides are reported to have resumed their talks where they left off this month.
The New York Times reported a 50-50 split of the basketball revenue was still on the table at the start of Friday's talks.
Various reports indicate attorney Jim Quinn, a central figure in bringing an end to the 1998-99 NBA lockout, has been called in by the players in hopes he can again bring the sides together.
Since they last met, the players have filed an antitrust suit against the league.
Former union officials Billy Hunter and Derek Fisher were among those present at Friday's session, as was Commissioner David Stern.
