In a bid to prevent NBA owners from imposing a lockout next month, the National Basketball Players Association on Tuesday filed an unfair labor practices complaint with the National Labor Relations Board.

The union also alleges that NBA owners are purposefully delaying action on a renewal of the collective bargaining agreement, which expires June 30.
