NBA players are taking game opportunities where they can, with the lockout into its fifth month and no end in sight. The players at Lucas’ game say they’re stressing patience and remain supportive behind union leaders who rejected the league’s latest proposal for a new labor deal.

“I’m not too optimistic, I’m not too pessimistic,” said Houston point guard Kyle Lowry, the Rockets’ player representative. “We’re all together, we’re all in this together. We’ve missed checks, and we’re going to miss checks. But we have to get a fair deal.”
