Silver: No decision on moving All-Star Game from Charlotte (The Associated Press)

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- NBA owners made no decision Tuesday after a lengthy debate about moving next year's All-Star Game from Charlotte because of North Carolina's law limiting protection for LGBT people.

Commissioner Adam Silver said no vote was taken, but the league realizes a decision has to come fairly quickly. He said he was personally disappointed North Carolina legislators didn't modify the law enough in recent weeks to make the discussion moot.

''We feel this law is inconsistent with the core values of the league,'' Silver said.

Silver said the NBA was put in a situation not entirely its own making because the law was enacted by North Carolina's legislature after the 2017 All-Star Game was already awarded to Charlotte.
