There is currently not enough support for an amnesty clause among NBA owners as they continue negotiations for a new deal with the National Basketball Players Association, sources told ESPN.com.
The sides met on Wednesday in New York and continue to make progress toward a new labor deal, though a resolution is not expected this week, sources said.
Sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul, who doubles as NBPA president, participated in Wednesday's bargaining session in New York headlined by NBA commissioner Adam Silver and union head Michele Roberts, flying cross country overnight after the Clippers' preseason game Tuesday in Sacramento.
