According to a letter sent to union members by Billy Hunter, the NBA and reformed players union will resume negotiations on the remaining issues of their new labor agreement on Friday.

Hunter tells players that the owners and NBPA "still must negotiate numerous non-economic matters, including the anti-drug agreement, commissioner and team discipline, and workplace rules, together with relatively smaller economic and other contract issues."

The deal would then be subject to ratification via electronic voting on Dec. 8 and would be completed by 5 p.m.

The NBA Board of Governors, according to Hunter's letter, is likewise schedule to hold a ratification meeting next Thursday.

"If both the players and owners vote to ratify the agreement," Hunter wrote, "then training camps will open the following morning on Friday, December 9."
