Lockout forces NBA to scrap two more weeks of regular season

(Reuters) – The National Basketball Association (NBA) said today it had canceled  another two weeks of its regular season with no end in sight to a bitter labor dispute that has  locked out players for nearly four months.
The decision marks the third time the league has canceled games due to the lockout, having  already scrapped the preseason and the first two weeks of the 2011-12 regular season that was  set to begin on Nov. 1.
