NBA owners and players representatives met over the weekend in an effort to come to a new labor agreement to avoid missing regular-season games. They met again on Monday for hours to continue the talks. In the end, it sounds like they never came close to a deal.

And because of that, the NBA lockout will now force the league to miss at least two weeks of the season.

Commissioner David Stern announced Monday night that the league was in fact cancelling its first two weeks after no agreement could be made.

"We remain very, very apart on all issues," Stern said, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski. "We have a gulf that separates us."
