The NBA canceled its annual summer league in Las Vegas due to the lockout.
How about a fall league in Sin City?
Starting Monday, dozens of pro players are expected to compete in an NBA-only league in Las Vegas, according to longtime trainer Joe Abunassar, a driving force behind the league.
Among the 40 or so players currently committed to playing are Knicks guard Chauncey Billups, Knicks forward Shawne Williams and New York rookie guard Iman Shumpert.
Others include Wizards guard John Wall, Memphis forward Zach Randolph, Bucks guard Stephen Jackson and Nuggets forward Al Harrington.
NBA players have been unable to access team facilities since July 1, when league owners imposed a league-wide lockout.

The pro-am games have drawn a mix of NBA, college and amateur players.
