Share

A look at the NBA lockout through Thursday:

* Games lost Thursday: 1.

* Total days of season missed: 59.

* Total games lost: 402.

* Earliest estimated date season can start: Feb. 1

* Negotiations: Nothing scheduled. The union has drawn up a “final” offer but has not yet given it to the owners.

* Projected player salary losses (through Feb. 1): More than $500 million.

* Today’s best canceled game: Seattle at Minnesota. A rematch of one of last year’s best first-round playoff matchups when the SuperSonics beat the Timberwolves, 3-2.

* Quote of the day: “They refused to meet with us, so we’re not giving it to them. That’s no way to negotiate. We’ll sit on this until Jan. 7 if we have to.”--Union attorney Jeffrey Kessler after the sides could not agree on how the players’ new proposal would be delivered to the owners.
