OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Exhibition games organized by NBA basketball players have become a trend as a result of the NBA lockout. With the benefit normally given to charity, the games have been an oasis of basketball during a period where little is known about when the league will again play games. Now, the Association's owners are getting in on the action.
With Oklahoma City mayor Mick Cornett and NBA commissioner David Stern to his side, Thunder owner Clay Bennett announced an owner-organized charity game. The game, which will be held at Chesapeake Energy Arena, is scheduled for November 3rd.
