NBA: The start of the NBA season was thrown into doubt after players and owners made no progress at a key labor meeting, with no further talks scheduled.

Billy Hunter, the union’s executive director, says players were prepared to make a “significant” financial move, but found owners unwilling to budge off their positions.

Union President Derek Fisher of the Lakers said he will tell players that “the way it looks right now we may not start on time.”

The sides had initially planned to meet again today.

• Even with a lockout firmly in place across the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves have still managed to land one of the biggest free agents on the market.

The team said that it has an agreement in principle with Rick Adelman to make one of the game’s great offensive minds its next head coach. An introductory news conference will be held once the contract is signed, but scheduling conflicts mean that is unlikely to happen this week. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
