Billy Hunter To Hold NBPA Meeting Friday In L.A.

Time waits for no man. Or union of men.

One day after the NBA announced that it was cancelling the first two weeks of the regular season after failed negotiations with the National Basketball Players Association, ESPN.com reports that the union has scheduled its next major meeting to discuss the state of affairs.

Billy Hunter will meet with NBA players Friday afternoon in Los Angeles, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
