The NBA has postponed a program that provides rookie players with skills and information necessary for a successful transition into the league until it can resolve the lockout.

The Rookie Transition Program, scheduled for August 9-11, will be rescheduled once the NBA and players reach a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement.

"Without a new collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players' union, we will be unable to hold RTP as originally scheduled," NBA Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.

"This is an important educational program for our incoming players, and it will be rescheduled once the parties agree on a CBA."
