The first two weeks of the 2011-2012 NBA Season have been cancelled after the league failed to reach an agreement with the Player’s Association on Monday night (Oct. 10, 2011).
As a result, the following games on the Philadelphia 76ers schedule have been cancelled:
Nov. 2: Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors
Nov. 4: Minnesota Timberwolves at Philadelphia 76ers
Nov. 6: Philadelphia 76ers at Orlando Magic
Nov. 9: Philadelphia 76ers at Houston Rockets
Nov. 11: Milwaukee Bucks at Philadelphia 76ers
Nov. 13: Philadelphia 76ers at Los Angeles Clippers
Nov. 14: Philadelphia 76ers at Portland Trail Blazers
Unfortunately the work stoppage may continue after the two-week period expires as no new developments have been reported and the two sides are currently far apart on most (if not all) of the major sticking points.
The NBA and the Player’s Association are expected to meet at some point next week, which leaves them little time to save the remainder of the season if by some miracle the wrinkles are ironed out in time to play ball.
