PHOENIX – The NBA officially announced the entire 114-game preseason schedule has been canceled because a new collective bargaining agreement has not been reached with the Players Association.

For the local Phoenix Suns, preseason games against Golden State, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles Clippers and two contests each against Portland and Denver have been scrapped.

With both sides seeming far apart on reaching a new deal, it won’t be long before regular season games start getting canceled as well.
