The NBA on Tuesday filed lawsuits against the NBA Players Association (NBAPA) in an effort to thwart an antitrust lawsuit filed by the players.
The two claims are an unfair labor practice with the National Labor Relations Board and a lawsuit with New York federal district court.
The players are accused of being uncooperative in negotiations towards a new collective barganing agreement (CBA) by making various threats to dissolve the union and file an antitrust suit against the league.
Players' attorney Jeffery Kessler says that they are frustrated because they believe the owners are negotiating in bad faith.
The current CBA expired June 30 and the union has made no decision to decertify.
