Economy may affect NBA team rosters

Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The still-scuffling U.S. economy may keep some NBA teams from starting the season with a full, 15-player roster.

A survey of all 30 franchises by The Associated Press found that nearly half the teams plan to start with 15 players. But others will carry the minimum 13, or leave one spot empty.

Chief among the reasons is flexibility and no team said outright that their decision would be driven by the economy. But Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says times are tough and he expects many teams to carry fewer players.

Final rosters are due to the NBA on Monday. The season begins Tuesday.
