Representatives from the NBA and players' union met for six hours on Wednesday.

The meeting in Manhattan was just the second between the sides since the lockout took effect July 1.

Derek Fisher told reporters afterward that the union had not changed its “philosophical stance” on issues and added that “both sides [are] feeling a sense of urgency” to strike a deal, with training camp just more than a month away.

David Stern told Sports Illustrated, “We don’t have any deadlines in mind. We just have meetings in mind.”
