NATIONAL Basketball Association players and owners still have no deal heading into the deadline for starting the season on time.
Negotiators for the sides met for more than five hours on Sunday before breaking for the night. They are scheduled to return yesterday afternoon.
"We're not necessarily any closer than we were going in tonight, but we'll be back at it tomorrow and we'll keep putting time in," said union president Derek Fisher of the Los Angeles Lakers.
If they can't come to a deal then, NBA Commissioner David Stern has said the first two weeks of the regular season will be canceled. It is scheduled to begin on November 1.
Neither side offered any specifics, but a person with knowledge of the talks said that they did not discuss the split of revenues, perhaps the biggest issue dividing them.
When they last met last Tuesday, league officials asked the union if they would consider a 50-50 split of basketball-related revenues.
