After meeting three times in the last three weeks, negotiators for the NBA Players Association and the league broke off talks for a new contract.

With their collective bargaining agreement expired, the league and players reached a no-strike, no-lockout agreement last October that preserved the 1994-95 season.

However, Russ Granik, deputy commissioner and chief operating officer of the league, said talks had been intermittant until the last month because of changes in the union leadership.
