Billy Hunter had promised to make one more call to NBA Commissioner David Stern, and he wasted little time picking up the phone. As a result, collective bargaining talks between owners and players will resume today.
No meetings have been held since June 1 when the sides met for 2 1/2 hours at the union's offices in New York.
The past two weeks have been marked by public posturing from both sides, with the latest salvo coming Wednesday when Hunter, director of the players union, traveled to the NBA Finals to explain his side of the story as to why talks have been stalled. advertisement
Officials from the league office and the players union both confirmed that talks would resume today at an unspecified site in New York.
