NEW YORK (AP) — Top negotiators for NBA owners and players are
back at the bargaining table for just the second time since the
league’s lockout began.

Commissioner David Stern, Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver and San
Antonio owner Peter Holt, head of the labor relations committee,
are representing the owners. They were meeting Wednesday at a
Manhattan hotel with union executive director Billy Hunter, union
president Derek Fisher of the Lakers and attorney Ron
Klempner.

The sides last met on Aug. 1, despite saying they hoped to follow
that with multiple sessions before the end of the month. They
remain far apart on major issues, with training camps scheduled to
open in October.
