The American Basketball Association halted the planned dispersal draft of Memphis and San Diego players for now, preserving a 10-team format next season. Denver Nuggets part owner Frank Goldberg eyed delaying action for about 30 days to pursue Conquistadors purchase, as Memphis and San Diego struggle financially with low attendance and weak records.
