Here’s the release that just came out of the NBA office:

NBA CANCELS FIRST TWO WEEKS OF REGULAR SEASON

NEW YORK, October 10, 2011–The NBA announced today that it has canceled
the first two weeks of the 2011-12 regular season because a new collective
bargaining agreement has not been reached with the National Basketball
Players Association. This cancellation includes all games originally
scheduled to be played through November 14.

“Despite extensive efforts, we have not been able to reach a new agreement
with the players’ union that allows all 30 teams to be able to compete for
a championship while fairly compensating our players,” NBA Deputy
Commissioner Adam Silver said.

Refunds plus interest are available for all NBA season-ticket holders for
all preseason and regular-season games that are canceled.
